Rough Landing

Postby Papa9571 » Tue Feb 12, 2008 6:09 am

It appears Qantas's reputation for never having to write of an aircraft due to an accident is in jeopardy.  At least no one was hurt.

The aircraft had been inspected and will be repaired at a cost of clode to $100 million to keep Qantas's reputation intact.

BPB, however, why should Qantas have to worry. I was not one of their aircraft. It was a wet-lease, just their colours on the aircraft.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Pride - one of the human prime motivators.  Not saying this is necessarily bad, mind you.  I would feel rather confident flying with an air carrier that was so maniacal about their safety record.

;D ;)

Safety record, or public image. The record is, a crashed repair ;D
