What The Hell Is Going On With Qantas?
Dear Qantas,
Please, get your shit together. It’s breaking my heart to keep reading about your woes.
A QANTAS Boeing 737 has aborted a take-off at Melbourne Airport after noises were heard coming from the undercarriage. The Canberra-bound plane returned to the terminal and passengers were transferred to another flight.
A Qantas spokeswoman says QF850 had problems with its air conditioning duct unit.
“It was a routine return to the terminal due to an air-conditioning fault,” she said. “Rather than delay passengers further a replacement aircraft was arranged and the flight took off just before 1pm.”
The incident is the latest in a recent run of scares for Australia’s national airline.
I miss the days when we knew we could depend on you. Although to be fair, I think there’s a slight chance the media is jumping upon absolutely everything they can in order to make it look as though your fleet is made up of a couple of tin death traps rescued from the scrapyard after WWII.

All that’s wrong with Qantas is that the ratbag media have made it skittish, so the slightest squeak and rattle gets investigated and fixed before any aircraft takes off.
Although Qantas has always had an enviable safety record, acknowledged in “Rainman”, right now you must be safer on a Qantas aircraft than on any other airline on the planet!
I’m guessing that since Qantas have moved their maintenance offshore, the quality control is not as high as it is here in Aus.
