The same aircraft having had the "smoke from the instrument panel" problem solved, made it to over to JNB, however didn't make it back to SYD, currently on the deck in JNB after a bird strike on take off.
Ok, these things happen, and the crews do an excellent job in returning the aircraft, but when you are paying top dollar on your way way to a crucial meeting to seal a deal, i'm sorry but I can't rely on QANTAS to deliver the goods any more.
......and this will affect QANTAS more than Mr & Mrs Smith from bogan town out on their once in a lifetime trip to somewhere overseas.
