Qantas Maintenance Story On Ch.7
Looks like today tonight (CH.7) are winding up to take a swing at Qantas on Monday night over the maintenance that they are having performed at facilities off-shore.
Whilst I applaud somebody sinking the boot into Qantas (especially D.Cox) over this issue, I just wish that it were a program like Four Corners getting stuck in.
I fear that today tonight may lack the credibility to do the issue justice. Could be worth a look though. 6:30 Monday night apparently.

I think its a long time since TT had any credibility. TT only aims to be entertain, shock and amuse.
I thought the 7.30 Report story on Strategic Aviation very revealing, when TT can produce stories like that then TT might have some credibility.

Today tonight is quite possibly the worst show to ever be conceived... lol
I think rather then being conceived, it evolved. Original the concept was a copy of the ABC's 'This Day Tonight'.
Commercial Television Stations found trying to market a serious current affairs program in prime time was a ratings loser, no one really wants to watch an interview with the Prime Minister.
So we now have this highly rating garbage, fortunately most people don't take it seriously.

If the story is between out of control neighbors & sneaky council parking officers...I might give it a miss!

Speaking of neighbours, if you're going to watch anything at 6.30pm it's gotta be Neighbours itself.
An abundance of young hot blonde girls wearing very little clothing - turning the volume up on the TV is purely optional.
Save your news for 7pm on the ABC and follow it up with the 7.30 Report if you're really keen.

Today Tonight wont do the issue any REAL justice as far as we are concerned. GOD knows they'll call a 737 a jumbo!
But for the "un-washed" that watch and belive it. Who do fly DeathSTAR. and inturn maybe Qantas.. will belive the hype.
Maybe they'll start flying Tiger or Vigrin.... I think a little loss of the market could do the rat some good! Make them realise they have to earn their spot at the top with excellent customer service and Australian maintained aircarft.

Where do they get it!!
Just what kind of info is "Today Tonight" going to present. Hasn't anybody wondered where they are getting their story? Is the ALAEA providing some insight, or are they getting some "inside oil" ?

David Cox responding you've got to be kidding.
Channel 2 and 200,000 viewers
or
Channel 7 and 2,000,000 viewers
Hear it's a story that originated from Bexley after Qantas announced last week that 2 more aircraft would be sent overseas. Management told the more you outsource the worse the press. Better than the union sitting on its hands.

Saw the story and the Asn seemed to get its point across without looking like fools. It will be interesting how the general public will view the story.
I am however convinced that people will fly in a rusty 44 gallon drum if it is the cheapest fare.
You could say that Tonight Yesterday made DC look like a idiot, however he did a good job of doing it to himself!

DC -ac
'Saw the program.
Once you cut thru the hype and jingoistic journalistic slant...........DC came out of it looking like even a BIGGER Goose than he started( if thats possible)
He obviously thought that this would be some lame jounro asking a few tame questions.
He mumbled,bumbled and fumbled his way thru the questions and even said " I need to back track for a minute" after he put his size 10 right into it!
He is NOT a star media performa a la Dixon.
Anyway, one thing for sure ....the punters got a good look at the smarmy contempt Qantas EXCO members have for them.
Remains to be seen if there will be a follow up.
One thing for sure................... after this performance.....Dixon will NOT allow him to go on air again for a long ,long time.
