Also heard that the qantas guys fuelled up and departed, so push a real fuel emergency aircraft further down the sequence, bust minima with over an hour in tanks, fuel up and leave....... what sort of normal ops is that?
Seriously? How far behind the QF crew were the DJ crew? 45 minutes or more? I can't see the QF crew doing a diversion gas and go any quicker than that.
Lots of hearsay being thrown around on this thread from people on both sides. Most of those who know something about professional aviation are obvious by their contributions. Those who know very little of professional aviation likewise have demonstrated that by their contributions.
