elephantasias balls Toowoomba, Australia	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Oct 11, 2008 Qantas has been running on luck for a long long time. Not yet lost a passenger through pure arse luck! Not much else. Who has this many incidents in such a short time frame? I would lay a bet there was just some shananigans going on in the cockpit...the mind boggles. Also I'm pretty sure it wasn't a new Airbus a380. I think they only have a couple that do from Melbourne and Sydney to LA. But have 20 or so on the way.

It should be sold to Singapore airlines to improve its falling standards. It represents low Aussie standards due to paucity of funds and skill shortages that is visible in the corporate world all over Australia. Don't forget Sheikh Haron and his threats toward Qantas. Don't you just HATE living in SUCH A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY as Australia, when you could be living the high life in a thatched-roof hut in India?

If whatever jumps all over place whilst in air delivering you to destination,then so what, carrier employed to carry you to destination, not tell you how to think,wear belt and not get thrown around.
