CPT Ian Woods Inflight PA
The ABC reported on this mornings 0745 news that there was a betting plunge on Lauren Jackson carrying the flag in the days before it was announced. They also mentioned that the way Ms Jackson's parents found out was from "a Qantas pilot" and they had been quite surprised by this. Now the subject of an investigation by the relevant authorities...
See. It only takes about 7 posts on a Qantas subject, even a good news subject, and then it goes pear shaped.
Shame on anyone who feels they need to bet on who carries the national flag and shame on anyone who makes a market for it. Get back to the greyhounds, you wallies.

When Lauren Jackson was interviewed in London after the official announcement, she said her parents didn't yet know as they were on their way over at that time but, "QANTAS have arranged to tell them during the flight" - Why any need for an investigation?
Thanks for the sound link. A great moment in time and thanks to the interweb we can all feel part of it. ! And well done to the womens relay team for getting our first gold

That doesn't show it's real. I'm not denying that the recording exists or that the recording was made available by Qantas.
I'm saying it doesn't sound like a recording of an actual PA made on an actual aircraft that was actually in revenue service. It certainly is not recorded by someone who "had a phone handy". There is no background noise, no whirring engines, no reaction from the passengers. To me it sounds like something that was recorded in a studio and had a filter put on it to make it sound vaguely like a PA.

Hahaha!
As a previous poster was alluding to, if you knew who Ian Woods is, you'd know it wasn't a publicity stunt or a set-up.
