Guess which quality channel 7 'current affairs' program picked up the story last night - complete with quotes from Cam saying that next time "it'll probably be with Virgin Blue"?
Didn't even bother giving J*or QF the right of reply - might have got some facts then and spoiled a good story.
I would have changed parts of the story to "fortunately the plane was taken out of service at 7.25am - lest some failure cause it to plummet from the sky". Poor Cam would never have made it to Melbourne if that had happened. Anyway, what kind of lunatic thinks it's a good idea to set off for Hamilton Island if you're aiming to get to Melbourne (apart from Qantas of course)?
Neville_nobody - what are you talking about? Melbourne- Sunshine Coast is a Jetstar A320 and that's the only plane that was U/S.
EDIT: PS There is one part of the story that doesn't make sense - QF/
JS don't operate Maroochydore to Hamilton Island do they? Their timetable says Melbourne & Sydney only?
