  • well well another ...

    well well another attack on qantas. well for ur info, qantas ONLY EVER GOES over seas if facilities here in aus are full with qantas aircraft having their checks. i bet u fly on planes serviced in worse places and wouldnt think twice. oxy bottle, major malfunction, most likely not their fault as with this incident, possible cause radio comms from airforce/millitary base near by, near where they landed as well as on board interference, all unlikely but is being looked into

  • Also maybe ...

    Also maybe something positive comes out of this. Eg: maybe I won't have to have some person who can't manage their time better type away profusely or worse still, hopefully we will be spared the ridiculous (upcoming) train-like or bus-like mobile phone conversations on flights. Fingers crossed :)

  • If the problem with ...

    If the problem with the laptop or glitch in the flight system is correct, it isn't Qantas's fault. It will be Airbuses or a random problem caused by electronic equipment.

  • I completley agree, ...

    I completley agree, "the two passengers in the seats ahead of us had their backs to the ceiling, my wife included" why the hell wern't they wearing their seatbelts? It is a Qantas REQUIREMENT, your asking to get hurt!

    Don't you think it's a bit weird that Qantas has been having all these problems since they've moved their maintenence services off-shore from Australia.

    It's not first time passengers walking around cabin hit the ceiling - It goes to show - keep your seatbelts on at all times unless going to the bathroom.
