thanks for that fed sec.
unionist, most 737 heavy is done in Melbourne but some has also been done OS with mixed results.
Components break down, ducts split , ducts overheat, bleeds fail.
I had a quick look at the aviation herald site and saw a few pressurisation difficulties without looking too hard.
I am more concerned with the RR engine problem.

So called "Professional Pilots" on PPRuNe rubbishing the media's attempts to describe what happened in laymen's terms as well as the reporting of the understandable but unfounded fears of the passengers involved.
Perhaps I need to lower my expectations. God, who would think a phone call to someone in the know would be such a massive ask. Afterall they are broadcasting to the entire population.
Decompressurisation...(even spell check gets confused by that one).

Try this link Bro, "your bad".
What a bunch of heroes
I heard there is a lot of inexperience over in the rugged NW. Hopefully no cowboy culture developing. What is holding fuel used for again?
Maybe the QANTAS group should deploy some experienced crew from the Jetstar arm to reduce these type of avoidable and expensive incidents.
no mention, that i've seen in media or this forum, of the B738 (Geelong) that's been sitting on the ground at Broome for the last 5 days after a lighting strike on approach put a dozen or so holes in the skin...
but that's how we do it in the rugged NW..

Jetstar Pirate,
Good wind up, go fishing somewhere else.
IMHO,
The rate and scale of these "incidents" within the QF Group needs to be compared to like sized carriers around the world. For instance, IIRC, QF Group operate @ 210 frames; compare the incident rate on the different fleets to those of like sized operators and then draw an informed conclusion based on the data/FACTS. If SQ/CX-KA/TG etc, and even US and European carriers of approximately the same size are experiencing the same ratio of events as QF, then make this public knowledge and try to remove the blow torch from QF. However, if on the contrary QF incident rates are far more frequent, then therein lies an inherent and sinister problem. Facts and only facts are required here. Not speculation and sensationalism. Compare apples and apples.
Like it or not, QF is a national icon, and therefore ANY significant event will always make the media and right now, QF is under the microscope(and IMHO justifiably so). And as for comments on here that an emergency descent is just another day at the office, get real. Any Phase 1/ recall item, whatever you may call it, is an emergency situation and not just another day.

Easter is not that far away, the hot cross buns are already in the stores.

Getting back to the original thread . . . ABC Radio continuously played a recording of the passenger who reported that all was well "until the aircraft reached flying altitude . . . ".
