BIG Q legal wont pay the wages or lease payments when pax stop flying koalabare airlines. Pax are now starting to really question the airlines claim to fame of safety. Australians are embracing the EK domination and unless there's a serious investigation, esp into the RB211 dramas, then there's going to be no viable airline left.

The days are gone when there were no other options for pax to get out of oz. There's definitely something going on that isn't right. I dont need statistics to tell me the number of failures isnt out of proportion to other airlines.

Sure losing an engine isnt a real big deal UNTIL it happens with other systems failing, bad weather, fuel exhaustion or other contributing factors. Sure there were 178 pilots on the fancy nancy when she exploded but thats not always the case when you are on final at LHR in fog and have to do a go around on 3 engines and then you lose something else and youve suddenly got no fuel left after a 60 minute hold.

So where's the senate enquiry? One day, one day the inevitable may well happen
