hits the TOGA button while pushing back engines running
Unlikely, its hard enough to find the TOGA buttons when you actually need them

it was a 400 not 800

THAT explains a lot. So it really WAS very close to a hole in the ground - or water. Just WHERE did the driver do the conversion training?

Dont want to get into a peeing comp here ( not too mention thread creep ) A37575, But I have no idea what the skippers fingers would be doing near the TOGA buttons during start ( ummm, should be on the cutoff lever ) or taxi, I generally have my hand on on top of T/Ls during taxi, the TOGA buttons are'nt exactly " in the way " , any other NG skippers wanna chime in here? Having said that, anything is possible.
On the topic, as blueloo said, in the NG, a bit hard to not notice the fuel config warning with 3 ton in the centre and next to nothing in the mains.

Sounds to me like Qantas pilots are becoming more preoccupied with their futures ,thanks to that megalomaniac leader of theirs, than flying aeroplanes.
This 737 driver wasn't the same chappy who stuffed up an RTO in Cairns a while back per chance?
Worlds safest airline ,what a crock!
Thanks to massive cost cutting sounds like Qantas' glory days are over.
What exactly is Geoff's legacy going to be?
A smoking hole ?

Couldn't have happened! QF crew are the best and most well trained pilots in the whole world...what are you guys insinuating? They are the whole wide world's safest airline and who are you cretins making such unfounded, malicious accusations ?

Why don't you all wait for the ATSB report to come out?
I heard 73 classic. Fuel in centre not in wings on landing, Inadvertantly didnt select centre pumps pre takeoff, landed, asked ground staff to assist transfer from centre back to wings (not refuellers), learnt valuable lesson, said no more. Some one (flight crew) from MEL Heard story went for browny points, dobbed pilot in for not reporting. Plane not in danger due crew recognising where fuel was and used appropriate means to supply engines.

Unfort they were dobbed themselves in via QAR I believe
It's not the incident that will get them in trouble it's the cover up
All are in the **** too, both pilots and the engineer

In that case they must have got a fuel CONFIG alert with both the center pumps off and more than 726 kgs in the center tank, AND a LOW fuel alert at 907 kgs in each of the wing tanks...NG style!
