Thread: Another Quantas gaff

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

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

anyway - I dunno what the problem is - I forget to take the park break off in my car all the time.

Not in the last few years.

I must admit, I was always fed the line that QANTAS had one of the best records and was still fatality free.

Has that changed? What these Nawty Little Roos been doing?

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

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.

New slogan?

Qantas - The Lucky Airline

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.
