Quite the opposite, and as many here know I would rather fly no other airline than Qantas, and believe their safety standards are very high, and i have no issue at all flying with them, and the pilots i know are very very experienced, so that is not what i am saying at all.
What i am saying is that for one reason or another, the plane gained altitude, then descnded rapidly - this sounds like a stall of some sort to me, and i have absolutely no suspicion that it was the direct fault of the flight crew whatsoever.
The reason for it gaining altitude will provide the key for why this incident happened - unusally high volume of hot air in the area? Flight computer malfunctioned (What caused it?). These are all questions that must be answered.
