Prices on the way up = more duct tape?

[steveo_phillips]

I just read another post about record profits for Qantas, I think they need to invest in some replacement parts rather than duct tape.

Anyone else noticed the amount of duct tape on the Qantas planes?

On a recent flight back and forth to the UK via Singapore, SYD to LHR then LHR to BNE. I noticed an alarming amount of duct tape on the Qantas planes and do not use service tags.

To the UK the A380 had Duct tape on my seat by the leg (not a problem), my wife’s seat didn't recline.
The bassinet had duct tape holding it to the wall with a big do not use sign. The couple in front with a young baby weren’t very happy.

On the way back another A380 had duct tape over a lot of the bays which hold the food trolleys in place with yellow un-serviceable tags upstairs at the back. Walking through business on the way out I saw another seat with duct tape on it.

SIN to BNE a 767 this time and my seat had no arm rest pad just duct tape, I couldn't believe it..



Glad to hear they are making lots of money.

With a couple of exceptions, I think you'd need mountains of duct tape to hold any QF 767s together.

Things must be really bad if QF have reactivated a 767 (all retired in 2014)!

lol I agree they would of had to step up to 100mph tape if it was a 767 and lots of it. It was an A 330.

Welcome to AFF from another clanger-writer, @steveo_phillips. I had an unserviceable tray table on a 707737 on Sunday night but not even any duct tape.

Cheers skip
