Yep... from the news so far, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly notable about the air return. Only real issue at the moment is why we're having yet another uncontained engine failure, which is one for the ATSB (or whoever has juristiction here) to look into (and I think there are questions for QF maintenance in there as well, not just the engine manufactuer, but that's for the investigators - no point speculating about this now).

The side lesson, as I mentioned, is that QF once again have to look at their engagement strategy with social and traditional media. Slow responses and knee-jerk deny deny deny responses mean you'll lose control of a story very rapidly these days.

EDIT: Okay interesting move to suspend A380 ops, that ratchets the intensity of the story back up again.

From SMH website

He (Joyce) conceded that some passengers would experience flight delays after the latest incident, including flights to Perth and Los Angeles.
Perth?? I'm sure they will be one of the worst affected....

I have a friend on QF12 tonight. They have been sitting on the plane for the past hour or so... and have only been just told that they won't be flying tonight.

I would think that London passengers would be more affected

There appears to be an aircraft going to SIN as QF6021 at 2000, replacement aircraft?

I have a friend on that flight too. He was all excited about the experience and getting settled in and then just 45 mins ago said he wasn't going anywhere.
