[Rhys Xanthis]

This is getting absolutely out of hand now..thats pathetic.

Must be a slow news day Nigel!
People must be ringing up these news agencies and telling them every tidbit that goes wrong in the terminal...

What a JOKE

Where are the reports for all the the delays of UA/NZ/AC/DJ etc etc for exactly the same problems

"Qantas, which has grounded a Tokyo-bound jet at the last minute so it can change a faulty part."

What do these idiots who write these articles want. Would they prefer these extremely high tech, million part machines fly without being 100%. It's not your company car you know, slightly more complicated than that.
Morons.


For what it's worth, if I was on a plane that was in a real emergency where survival looked slim there is no other airline in the world I would want to be on than QF.

This man speaketh the truth!

Comments are a bit of an interesting read, some are actually believing this tripe http://www.news.com.au/comments/0,23...014090,00.html , but their are quite a few who realise it for what it is

What would everyone here say if there was a reporter who actually had an aviation background would you jump on them so quickly.They are doing a job and yes people should be made aware of what is going on around the airlines.

Very true, but i dont think comparing this to the incident on QF19 and even the hydraulics problem on the Sydney to Manila flight...this is just a delay on a faulty part that has been repaired...i dont see why it should be front page news!

And, well, i think a reporter who had an aviation background would not be so quick to jump on something like this and make it front page news - Andrew?

Check this comment out. I couldn't resist reprinting it here, I know it is a bit O/T but it gave me a laugh.

Flying in general, and not just Qantas, lost its ambience it once had when they removed first class off domestic sectors, allowed passengers attired in clothing more appropriate for the airport public bar to become lounge members, and airlines refused to put sound proof security barriers between the last row of Business and the first row of Economy class.

I read that earlier I can recall the same person's rant when they reported JQ's 1 cent sales earlier which went along the lines of "I'm concerned about the type of passengers these sales attract to air travel. The other day I was appalled that the man sitting next to me in Business class was not wearing a suit and had jeans. etc. etc." Haha It just has to be someone with a good humour stirring the pot.

Nightline on Ch 9 tonight claimed that 3 planes were delayed for technical reasons blah blah blah, luckily David Cox came on and told them that they would keep planes back as long as nessecary and needed to make the planes 100% serviceable, good on QF for coming out with that, although i think they could go as far as saying media beat up!
