Fourth Qantas plane turned back after light goes off in cabin
Nothing to worry about folks, Joycie got it all under control. He keeps telling us so! Mere blip on the horizon, not a trend.
Can't argue with that.
A Qantas flight has been forced to turn around shortly after taking off from Hobart, making it the fourth aircraft to be diverted by the carrier in 48 hours.
However Qantas boss Alan Joyce has shrugged off the string of air troubles, insisting that turn-backs happen "all the time".

Light goes off?????
I would have thought that a light going ON would have been more of an issue
Seriously. Is this what passes for journalism these days? Maybe it was just the work experience kid filling in time between Facebook updates.

This is the normal way failure to invest sufficient resources in maintenance and overhaul presents itself - a continuing string of unrelated failures gradually increasing in frequency.
It takes a while for an honest investigator to determine the cause and it is almost impossible to reduce the failure rates without an almost infinite investment in maintenance.

The fourth one has more to do with QF not wanting engineers at ports so the decision is simple, continue and ground the aircraft for hours or turn around and have it rectified.
What about the Virgin ATR that has been sitting on the ground at YGLA for the last day or so?? Returned to land with an engine shutdown (don't know why).
Not newsworthy because its not Qantas?

Lucky the Qantas Plane had a mind of its own, otherwise the stupid pilots would still be up there!
