I wonder if and when other carriers who opted for the RR engine, will ground their fleets of A380s as well. If it is a construction fault in the design, and maintenance has nothing to do with it, this step must come sooner or later since then all RR engines on all A380s are a risk, no matter the carrier.
All of them? From what I've heard 3 engines had oil issues.


Regarding the other carriers, Singapore (more aircraft, higher hours) have checked their engines and continued operations. Like TarJak said, this seems to be either extra caution or an internal Qantas issue.
