Detrimental effects of media coverage (QF)

I dunno about the rest of you guys but I am fast tiring of the media's reporting of relatively standard engineering incidents. ie: QF delaminated side windshield......(as many would know this is ABSOLUTELY a NON event)

Cracked windshield grounds Qantas plane | The Australian

The media seem unrelenting in their continued Qantas bashing.

These events occur in every single airline from small turboprop regionals to large jet international operators with the best of safety reputations, this I can promise!!!!

When will we come across a journo with some credibility... one who is willing to research and compare these events with other similar operators and report in a non biased manner??

Perhaps QF need to become more clandestine about the cause of delays, engineering events and other internal matters. More akin to SQ....
