is a report of a Q international plane leaving Australia a few weeks back and a litany of stuff-ups causing delays. The pilot speaking anonymously calls himself Tom. I was on that plane. Cap'n Tom announced the aircraft couldn't push back because it didn't have any water! He called for a water truck but it arrived empty!! As passenger I thought, unbelievable, is this the first time they've ever operated a jet? He was plainly frustrated and embarrassed, after all, surely there's someone whose job is to check the oil, water, and tyres: it's not hard. It makes you wonder what else these clowns are forgetting. I won't say the flight number and date because Tom wants to keep his job. Tom, if you're reading this, I feel for you.
