Qantas



When I flew here via Qantas they seemed to be a top notch airline. The flight was as good as can be expected and they kept us well fed which was nice. They exceeded my expectations for an economy flight. I was planning to fly home with Qantas after having a great experience with them in the past. However, for the past few weeks I’ve been hearing nothing but bad press regarding Qantas and their aircrafts.

This news article details the most recent event.

From the article:

The spate of problems started last month when an explosion ripped a hole in the fuselage of a Qantas jet en route from Hong Kong to Melbourne , forcing an emergency landing at Manila.

Last week, a domestic flight was forced to return to Adelaide after a wheel bay door failed to close.

A Qantas Boeing 767 flight turned back to make an emergency landing at Sydney airport on August 2 after a hydraulic fluid leak was discovered.

On Monday, a jet was grounded for almost three hours after a technical fault was discovered in a pre-flight inspection at Sydney airport.

Hopefully they can get back on track soon because I’m ready to get out of here.

I also was impressed with Quantas when I flew with them. Now I'm not to keen on the whole thing. What do you reckon the Australian people do? (Sorry I just had to use that word!)

What is with the spam comments as of late? Ultra weird.
