It appears that the crew ran out of hours so the flight is now delayed until 11am tomorrow (Tuesday).
How long were passengers held on the plane for all up I wonder ? |

Wouldn't QANTAS have a back up A380 crew on standby in Melbourne or flown a crew from Sydney? Alternatively, assuming the fuel gauge problem was fixed, couldn't they have flown the plane to Sydney where a standby crew could have operated the flight with less delay than 23 hours?
It will be interesting to hear what QANTAS has to say. |

I thought this was the case too, so by now isn't there a 'standard' repair job procedure for the maintenance crews to follow?
Perhaps they did use this 'standard' approach, but maybe this problem was a little more complex then the others of the past as the problem was apparently 'fixed' the first time around, (after take off atempt#1) but reappeared on take off attempt#2. ![]() |
