I have been WP for 20 years straight and am LTG (obviously). For the first time, I was about 500 SC short this year, but got it again. The good old mangy roo have been very good to me over the years. I stick with them domestically. I often go to the UK, and these days I take the daylight...

Oh, so they are not making an initial selection based on questions, are they? Once you pass the initial test, you are allowed to ask anything you like.... I am truly amazed that people fall over themselves to win a free flight and lunch...what, haven't you people ever been shouted lunch...

So, tell me, if they wanted hard questions, why vet them first?

Roo Flyer is now a NON PERSON. Fancy daring to criticise QANTAS.....I mean, they are running a competition to select the Right People with the Right Questions to attend their little PR event..... Big Brother loves you and wants you to be happy.

What a fascinating thread this has been... :)

They are trying to tell you something.....

Oh dear...keep digging, the hole is getting deeper. Tell me, what constitutes a "normal operational" incident? I've never heard of that category in my 32 years of piloting. Is stuffing up an approach through fatigue/lack of skill "a normal operational incident"? Everyone forgets to put the...

Go back and read my original post - there are many more than 2 incidents. If you lot are mad enough to fly with DeathStar, by all means, go your hardest. Mainline QANTAS are excellent operationally - for now. Because they have vastly experienced pilots, who are regularly checked and who...

Tsk tsk tsk, that is just not the right attitude! ;)

Ha ha ha! The truth will set you free....

Ha ha ha! Minor incidents? Minor f'ing incidents!? AIRCRAFT AT 700 FEET DESCENDING ON APPROACH WITH THE GEAR UP BECAUSE THE CAPTAIN WAS PLAYING WITH HIS MOBILE PHONE AND THE F/O WAS IN LA LA LAND! AIRCRAFT ALMOST PLANTED INTO THE RUNWAY AT MELBOURNE ON GO AROUND, BECAUSE THE PILOTS COULDN'T...

What an amusing thread! So, let me get this straight. You are all wetting yourselves with anticipation that you would "win" an audience with the CEO of "QANTAS loyalty" (an oxymoron if ever there was one...), to listen to spin and BS while they try to defend the indefensible. QANTAS marketing...

Not if you live in FNQ.... direct CNS-HKG, departs at a most civilised 1250. You then sit in the lounge at HKG, sipping G and T's for a few hrs before you depart. The alternative? CNS-BNE early to make the connection (0530 departure, how lovely......) and then BNE-LAX (lovely LAX...), a...

Certainly: How Jetstar came close to disaster in 2007 | Plane Talking Jetstar A321 at Singapore on May 26th 2010, landing configuration warning | AeroInside Jetstar A320 at Christchurch and Auckland on Jun 3rd 2012, flaps problems | AeroInside Jetstar A321 at Cairns on Sep 3rd 2012...

Nasty reality....

Really? For someone so safety focussed, you seem ready to jump on board a demonstrably unsafe airline.

Really? I am off to the US in 2 weeks. QANTAS were $1200 more expensive than Cathay for an inferior J class product. Are you telling me that you would be prepared to pay $1200 more just to keep Joyce in a job? Should we now begin subsidising loss making Australian businesses, whilst wrapping...

I'm very glad to hear that you value safety. Here is your "safety" culture in action: Tired Jetstar pilots told to 'toughen up princesses'

You can fly Deathstar to Asia. It is great. Better make sure the Captain has turned his mobile phone off, though..... Jetstar pilots 'forgot to lower wheels' due to mobile phone

How interesting. Are you saying that Cathay are less safe than QANTAS?
