What also intrigues me about this is that this is the third thread to be started and will no doubt be closed in short order. What are the mods thinking?
There has been no Qantas bashing or poor behaviour by members posting, so why close it? It is a very interesting systemic failure and one worth discussing in order to make some safety learnings.
For example, I think there was a chance that this event could have resulted in a high speed RTO if there was a different crew onboard (because I have read a report of that very thing happening on a 737 in Europe) but others think that is highly unlikely and that the event is not at all serious. Who is right? I don't know and it doesn't matter but I do know I would have learnt something that I could taken to the line if the conversation hadn't been stopped.
