Gee if you think QF are bad in controlled airspace you should hear them going into Class G and MBZ's!! Fair dinkum you'd think it was some bloke on his first solo!! QF are consistantly bad in this department.

Some of the worst radio work I have ever heard would have been a QF 737 going into Ayers Rock a while ago on a busy day and this clown in the 737 blocked both the Area and MBZ with an abortion of a radio call.

Something to the tune of.............

"Umm errr all stations in the Ayers Rock Area VXJ an RPT (he fair dinkum said that) Boeing 737 Jet inbound on the umm errr 155 Radial err um Bearing to no the bearing from the umm err Ayers Rock NDB ummm errr ............................... (5 sec pause) we are now 75 no 45 DME tracking for a right downwind....um errr..... runway 31 um err no runway 13." Then went over the MBZ and proceeded to block that frequency as well. Guys then attempted to call for seperation by he wouldn't answer!!

Have heard similar debacles in Broome.
