Why hasn’t anyone answered my very important post regarding what would have happened if this incident had taken place when the aircraft was in the remote ocean area at night? I’m fascinated that no one will touch this in any way. No, I’m not trying to beat anything up. Possibly there will be a simple explanation that the aircraft could have easily tracked to the nearest airport and landed safely. If that is not the explanation, surely we should know.
Surely there is someone reading this thread who is qualified to answer this very important question. I would have thought it is also important for the Qantas management and Board to know the truth – i.e. was there no real problem if this happened in a remote area at night, or could the aircraft and passengers have been lost?
Please, could someone address this important issue?
