Default Qantas site

Anyone seen this site with some dirt on Qantas?

http://www.qantassucksworld.com/index.html

Looks like quite a bit of 'dirt' on them there. I am not sure about the third article down about landing at 350km/h. Anyone know more about this? He is stating that the landing speed of a 767 is 200km/h or less. More like 240km/h.

That site is a load of crap... like the 2nd article about Qantas being "forced" to buy back it stock. Qantas has not been forced to do anything. They announced a share buyback ages ago and have been buying back stock every day even when the stock was at a record high.

Sure, some articles are exaggerated but I think some bear some truth like customer experiences, safety problems, the 717 hard landing etc.

The 717 landing wasn't Qantas though.

Why let the facts get in the way of a good story?

Fair call. VH-NXE is owned by National JEt systems but was operating a Qantas flight. I would still call it Qantas when operating one of their flights. The passengers booked through the Qantas web site, the aircraft probably had Qantas markings, the passengers would have paid Qantas, the cabin crew would have been Qantas etc etc.

The aircraft is operated by National Jet Systems. The flight crew are all National Jet Systems, the cabin crew are all National Jet Systems. When you book on the Qantas website, it would say "Operated by National Jet Systems on behalf of Qantas". So no, it's not Qantas.

And until such time as the final investigation for the incident in question is brought out, it's a bit critical to be criticising anyone for the event.

Again, fair call but I cannot see where on any of my posts I was criticising? If you can find where I was criticising I do apologise.
