Thread: Qantas, your thoughts

It's hard to take seriously opinions on aviation matters by people who cannot even spell QANTAS.

Assumptions or experiences? how could ones experiences be flawed?

Age of fit out, age of seating, in-flight entertainment, the ability of the cabin crew to make things hot or cold is their kit working. Enough storage for the cabin crew so that they can supply toothbrushes.
a tooth brush may seem a trivial thing, and really it is. But after 24 hours most people really want to use a toothbrush. Also many airports were confiscating even tooth brushes from carry on baggage.

as a side note airport security is a completely different chapter, the newer setup with full body scans are the easiest but not good is the random chemical scans, not good if your employment required you to handle firearms extensively. But that’s an airport thing and not an airline thing.

Or air frame stress, cracks not apparent until some thing falls off. reconditioned turbines flying to bits, plenty of examples, heaps of examples. Have a look

If you read my post again, you will see that i said " Apart from the kids bit"

Did I say that? I don’t think I did! I did say however "Now I don’t know if this is correct but my thinking would be." and "and that is based on my experience. Which begs the question how could anyone with out comparative experience disagree with (ones experience)" I don’t see the word truth in there! And since Vlad you have not posted your Qantas experience one must assume that you don’t have any? if so then rather than criticize post your experiences either with Qantas or/ and other airlines. in short justify your criticisms please

It's a damn poor mind that can think of only one way to spell a word. ~Andrew Jackson


I don't give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way. ~Mark Twain


Correct spelling, indeed, is one of the arts that are far more esteemed by schoolma'ams than by practical men, neck-deep in the heat and agony of the world. ~Henry Louis Mencken, The American Language

Some aircraft magazines have pointed out that some of the newer composite craft will be much more dangerious if they catch fire, so perhaps some slightly older aircraft will be better if you are in a crash whereyou survive the impact.

It is not a word. An acronym. There is no acceptable alternate spelling.

I agree with you, but when someone makes a smart comment I have to bring to his attention that spelling it is not everything.
I started the thread and I spelled it correctly, juts in one particular post (in a hurry) I made the mistake.
If there is something that make me upset is when people think that are smarter than the others.
Yes my English it is not the best, however y managed to have very good jobs including a Director position in a company where an university in Australia was the major shareholder.
Some times there is the need for more knowledge that English to succeed in your life.
Be able to communicate in more that 2 o 3 languages helps as well.
In any case @ 64 I am not considering myself smarter than any other people and I will learn until I die.

I dont think the post was about you Chucaro most on here know english is not your first language and allow you some mistakes. Ron must shake his head though he would go crazy trying to correct you
