QF51 23rd Feb

[Flyerqf]

QF51 operated by VH-OEI turned back enroute to Singapore and landed back in Brisbane an hour after take off.

VH-OJL positioned from Sydney to Brisbane to operate the flight some 8 hours late. Does anyone know what happened to the aircraft that resulted in it turning back?

Apparently, an airconditioner problem. Filter "broke", to use the technical term.

Wtf? Iirc the unions mandated maintenance of 747s in Australia. Why blame overseas maintenance when the Australian unionised workforce will screw up just as much, if not more.

And not just that... any plane which has a minor malfunction is straight away the result of overseas maintenance. Anyone would think steve purvinas now posts on aff.. that's certainly the line the union spins at every opportunity.

I don't know, how much would they save on a 50 cent filter?

Or skewed right wing bias.

Indeed.

Then there are some that view only the facts.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story
