Sunfish,
I do agree with you to a certain extent, any problem onboard the aircraft should be taken seriously. What I have a big problem with it the way these things are reported i.e. Big Font headline 'QANTAS AIRCRAFT IN MID AIR SCARE!!!'. This kind of stuff happens all the time worldwide but the Australian Press when it comes to Qantas tend to sensationalise things and that is what annoys me. I mean for christ sake it was 'breaking news' on sky news in OZ with a live feed when a Jetconnect (Qantas) 737 landed at Sydney with a stuffed fuel crossfeed valve. If the media keeps reporting this kind of crap then the public get a totally unrealistic view on how serious these things are.
