Just caught the back end of a News Flash on radio re a full Emergency J* landing at Bne airport not so long ago.

It was a hydraulic failure in one of three systems on JQ888 BNE-MKY shortly after takeoff. The captain turned around and the aircraft isn’t going anywhere. The news report I saw said JQ were trying to find an aircraft to get the pax on their way and if they couldn’t, their tickets could be refunded… only could, how useful!

Blah blah, they would be refunded if they decided not to travel on a JQ service, they wouldn't be refunded if they did travel on the JQ service or got placed on another carriers service.

Thanks Samh004.

That fills in the hole a bit.

The suits at QF must be getting mighty tired by now l recon.

I guess, it just seemed they were suggesting that if they couldn’t get them to their destination tonight that’d be it. Although they’re low cost, I’m sure they don’t need that PR nightmare after being reported on the news.

I saw it on the news on TV, it was breaking.

lol completely dry and objective - they must have thought it pointless to try and qantas-bash given their target audience would never realise the connection.

Hmmm. Seems something may have been amiss in the link in my previous post (now deleted).

Here's the link to Aviation Record (hopefully correct this time; apologies for whatever happened before).
