Two Quantas Pilots have been stood down on a routine flight from Melbourne to Sydney, the two gentleman were having such a nice chat , they forgot to put the wheels down for landing, the emergency alarm came on 212 metres above runway approach, comment from airline spokesman live on chanel 9 news, it was just one of those mistakes that happen from time to time!!its enuf to make you want to fly Serbo Air or Air Palestine:cmn:
There used to be a Pakistan International Airlines jumbo jet permanently parked next to the runway at Islamabad. The pilot, ex air force, forgot to drop the wheels and did a belly flop on the runway.
It's 'Qantas'.
Or 'quaint arse' to us locals :)
Another Quantas gaff :smileylaughing:
just to be picky - it really is QANTAS
anyway - I dunno what the problem is - I forget to take the park break off in my car all the time.
I know.....I was highlighting the fact the OP made a gaff himself.Quote:

Actually Qantas has had very few gaffs and in fact has one of, if not the, best safety records in the world.Quote:

They still have a no fatalities safety record. (since 1945 I think) There have been a few incidents in the last few years but nothing involving fatalaties.
Their aircraft and hosties are getting on and they slashed the maintenance a few years ago so really it's just a matter of time unfortunately.
Yeah....unfortunately with such a great record of safety from a great airline from the greatest country in the world that matters.....every day that passes is one day closer to that fatefull day.
seems to have been quite a few real cockups by QANTAS in the last 3 years, even without fatalities, according to civil air authorities in Brisbane, only roughly 25% get reported immediately, but brisbane airport seems to be cock up central,whether in the terminal or on the tarmac, The Courier Mail ran a whole series about Qantas and Brisbane Airport cockups will try and locate it, it does not Matter whether they spell itQuantas, Quntas or QANTAS they are and always will be Crap:cmn:
/\ Yes thats right, I know coz I work for the bastards.:)

Agreed they do not have cute hostee's like other airlines, but they are not based in Asia where they can freely advertise for babes with big tits and not worry about law suits

Jetstar....
Always late, 7 hours on my last trip.
No business class.
Fly into Darwin and you have a choice of arriving at 02.00 or 06.00
In flight movies are only changed once a month.
Food's crap and expensive.
Grogs absurdly expensive for what it is.
Flight attendants are generally grumpy and ugly.
Seats don't recline worth a shit.
The planes regularly break down.
Need I go on
Not correct gentlemen...Quote:
