Until recently Delta/Northwest were flying DC-9's from the late 60s very efficiently.

The oldest 767 flying with QF was delivered in 1988, same the 747's. Age is not an issue if they are well maintained.

Which is of course the flavour of the month in reporting... and before we all beat up the media again, they are right to be asking the questions (it's only when they make up hysterical answers to these questions that they are in the wrong).

A real scare story! Right!!!
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/vic...-1225994110664 Not the REAL reason I posted it. I agree with Dave and Sarah. It is probably more of a concern of what is this doing to the QF brand? This I assume will be on all the tv news sites tonight and papers tomorrow. I not for one minute believe it would be a pleasant experience, I also dont believe that these events wont happen at times. QF have had more than their share of bad luck in recent times, it is becoming a real negative. Which is very unfortunate and damaging to the business. I have had several people (just a few) mention to me they wouldnt fly QF cause of what they have heard in recent times. I think that is stupid. However, just in my small world, it's a few lost international pax. Kind regards, Geoff Last edited by Geoff W; 25th January 2011 at 03:06 PM. Reason: Still cant spell.. Doh! |

They have a plan to replace the 767's. These are things called A330's, which have been progressively introduced over the past few years, on time and of course we have the 787's which by the time they make it to the fleet will be delayed by a good few years. Again what can Qantas do to help counter the delay of the 787? Do they go an lease in some aircraft on a temporary basis? If so where do they go? What age aircraft do you think they would get on short term lease? They have plans to replace the 737-400's, these things called 737-800's have been coming in regularly since 2002. Not sure what you mean that the 737's except on the Tasman look dated, I for one certainly don't think the 30+ 737-800's flying domestically looked all that dated. Now sure there are some old aircraft in the fleet, but by the same token there are HEAPS of new aircraft too. By my calculation about half the fleet is under 8 years old with a plan to introduce many new aircraft over the next 5 years or so. |

Does anyone know of any other incidents in the world today involving aircraft or was QANTAS the only one that had an aircraft have a problem occur to it. What a load of crap, if people don't let the media know about these things it would never get printed.
God i love the media. My two cents worth. |

When I heard about this incident I thought it was that Perth Incident being reported again for some strange reason. I can't help but wonder how the media is going to spin this story. |

VH-OGG a few weeks back didn't look at all that bad on the inside! Quite refreshed actually.
The younger VH-OGR looked quite dated with the old blue bulkheads and Dreamtime seats, however the economy cabin had the honeycomb seat fabrics. I didn't know any of the Dreamtime 767s got the honeycomb seats until I walked down the aisle! Maybe it's just -OGR? |
