QF risk

The prior thread has been locked, probably because of all the cheese jokes (sorry I even mentioned it).

I would normally leave it at that, except for the risk attitude displayed. GaryGnu said "There was never any mention of "no risk"."

Actually there was. Try Qantas Suspends Pilots After Landing Gear Not Lowered in Sydney - Bloomberg.com which has Simon Rushton saying “There was no risk of the aircraft landing without its gear.”

And plenty of reported comments about "There was no flight safety issue." - all the News Corp papers had a similar story.

Admittedly these are as-reported, but I suspect we can trust journos to get direct quotes right (cross my fingers). Qantas' risk attitude is, IMHO, degraded somewhat as a result.
