Hey Guys

Here are a few links to stories that are current and worth reading

Here is a story that seems pretty scary about an crew flying an ATR that had four missed approachs, several ground proximity warnings and a stall warning.

Qantas A380 cabin is butt, ugly. No imagination, you would want to roll out your best on such a new plane, like what singapore did

Hmm, I don't particularly like the Qantas setup either - wonder why they chose the colours they did... :unsure:

Amazing how iPod has pervaded our lives, where mere MP3 players tanked.
One of our cars has an iPod dock...

And I find the one on ours very handy, too :D

The Qantas interior is disgusting. I don't think it could be any worse. They had a pic on a news website with the 'designer' of the new interior looking half happy, half stoned.
