I reckon QF should charge for pics of QF tails on news sites, every journo must be just sitting there with one in front of 'em, waiting to load a story. Newsworthy or not. Love the story (not) at the tail of my last post. Seriously who cares about a missing screw? I get the impression it was fixed. End of story. No drama. Kind regards, Geoff |

Hmm, 199 passengers does not speak well of this route!

It would have been nice and comfy onboard.
As a 744ER, they could have fitted eveyone in First, Business and Y+ cabins and left Y cabin completely empty. Unless there is a lot of freight in the hold, this can't be a profitable service though maybe it's just a bad day. Brad

SQ212 was the other Intl return, it also declared a local standby.

I AM going to stop giving credibility to these news stories now.
Seriously, this lawyer and his alleged QF explanation is REAL poor I believe. Not withstanding his alleged quotes about a smooth landing. I am happy to concede it wouldnt be fun if you were in the situation. I am sure a fuel dump SEEMS like ages. I am sure it does to the flight crew also. But gee (again) I get a real feel for comment for comments sake AGAIN. I hope the wedding isnt Sat BUE time, QF will end up in a deeper hole. I have experienced this in a 24 hour delay from MEL to LAX a couple of years back, some fellow pax were going from MQL to ORD to a wedding, there was NO way they were going to make ORD on time, they werent happy BIG TIME. At least we were safe as a result of the delay and we were very well looked after in the 24 hour period. Suggest you dont ask the MQL people about that but! Kind regards, Geoff From "The Age" Quote:

Understandable that the media will report a QF air return and not an international seeing as it is our national carrier, but even still, whats next? A report on a QF flight running out of soft drink on board?
It's disgusting that such minor things such as a screw missing, and warning lights being activated (which are a extremely regular occurrence in RPT aircraft), are being reported and blown out of proportion. How are media outlets allowed to get away with this? Is the same degree of reporting evident in rail networks, cruise ships, buses? |

I like the sound of this watch which not only allows you to see that the cabin has depressurised, but also allows you to stay conscious to read this without the use of oxygen masks. I imagine it must be a James Bond-style arrangement, probably delivering oxygen intervenously through a needle on the underside.
Obviously that report is unreliable, but it does sound like a relatively serious electrical fault... I don't think we should be too quick to stomp on the media over that one. There are valid questions to be asked here, but, sure, it would be useful if the correct questions could be asked without the totally unnecessary cloud of BS. Will be similarly interested to hear what the go is with SQ212. |

Well after OJK, the Courier Mail reported a domestic flight that was 30 minutes late. And no, I am serious......
