Yep the comments are great... At least comment 5 of 6 is aware that the "article" is rubbish.

Andrew,
i would not be suprised if Mr 'Russell' a businessman from Hawthorn is a fictitious character created by some journo in their southbank office |

Thought I'd add to this as I dont think it needs a new thread.
Just heard on the Radio that a Qantas flight from London to Melbourne is delayed in Hong Kong for repairs to one of its doors. The radio presenter said it was breaking news and it came from a passenger that decided to ring while waiting in Hong Kong.Unbelievable. The media might as well sit on a maintenance flight line and report when light bulbs also blow on the aircraft. Now this is getting ridiculous. If the media have a look at other airline maintenance documents, they will see all aircraft require maintenance and components do fail.

Agree with you Tony and I wanted to say I applaud all the Qantas pilots in being prepared to put Safety first ALL the time
Not sure of the rego but the flight is due in Melbourne at 23:35 (was due 21:45 ) |

Please don't lump all journalists in the same pot.
We continually have daily and electronic media organisations calling us to comment on Qantas happenings, and if there's a hint they're looking to sensationalise the story, we just won't do it. |

The people writing/reporting on these 'stories' know very little on aviation but don't seem to do thier research either. The same journos will report on anything that sells papers - and they love having people give them the information from 'eyewitness' accounts. |
