Ohh well. Still no fatalities....

Once an A330 did an autoland on a CAT II in low visibility after Perth developed fog. No extra fuel on board as weather reports said fine weather... Anyway it enabled authorities to question whether CAT II was also acceptable (the plane landed safely)

Isn't it evident?? Boeing are my favourite aircraft.

P.S. that's is my real birthday but I wish to keep my real age secret to keep you all pondering.

It seems like they're continuously having problems at the moment.

Every other week, we hear about another incident / accident tongue.gif

Hopefully things will get better from here winkyy.gif

If the media took as much interest in Air New Zealand or any other airline, whats happen with Qantas would look normal. (in a way)

For me:

Qantas: WGN-SYD; SYD-BKK
JetStar Asia (Qantas subsidy): SGN-SIN
British Airways: SIN-SYD
Qantas: SYD-WGN

Yay!!!!!
Whenever people complain about Qantas, all I can say is how I'm going on them at the end of the year.
