More rats at Qantas

Another family of rats have been found onboard a Qantas aircraft. This time in the forward galley next to the AED (defib machine). A crew member took photos of the family of pink, bald baby rats and was told to immediately to delete them by a company manager.

Where was mummy and daddy?

Careful there with that last comment, that will open the flood gates & will yet again have the mods reaching for their pad locks of which stocks are surely getting low

Is fumigation an option in an aircraft? That's the preferred option for ship holds and warehouses I believe.

What happens when a rats nest becomes the point of ignition for a fire?

Who'd have thought....

It was only a matter of time.

Rats are attracted to rotting carcasses.

QF cabin, whats wrong with a bit of humour, God only knows we need it. Airlines were built on humour, otherwise we would have cried. Lighten up.

Many years ago TN had a B737 that had a family of rodents in that that just didn't want to leave the plane, no matter what.

After all sorts of measures were tried the solution was found............Suffocate them.

The aircraft was parked "on the fence" with all of its external orifices sealed off and a number of CO2 cylinders were placed in the cargo holds.

One, two, three..........Open the cylinder valves, jump out of the cargo holds and slam the doors, come back a day later and hunt for the bodies !!!

Problem "Solvered" with no nasty chemicals !
