Since when is he an aviation expert?
Controversial? Good cop, bad cop? The more yelling & screaming in cyberspace he can elicit, the better.

Eyeballs, its all about eyeball$, re-tweets, sharing & ultimately page views & ad click-through's. MH370 isn't the cash cow it once was. Must have controversy.

Keg, you know me. I call it how I see it and I don't suffer fools. The madam is certainly acting like one. All of the 'facts' he has presented are just stuff that happens in an airline. They happen in Qantas, they happen to the competition. We have such a good level of safety and reporting in this country that the trivial things become blown out of proportion.

Australia in general is a very safe place to fly and the skills and equipment are all mostly top notch.

As for clowns and hats, there's a pretty large thread going on elsewhere regarding what most think of the new uniform. I'd imagine bandit boy will feel pretty good wearing it.

The Qantas guys live for paying out on Jetstar.
I suspect the Qantas guys are not that bored!

Fortunately, as iron bar never has anything worthwhile to contribute, there is an ignore list.

I'd suggest you do the same.

Goblin, I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't take a swipe at Madame Bandit. I'm suggesting that you shouldn't take a swipe at QF drivers as you did a couple of pages back. I'm not convinced there are many/ any QF drivers taking pot shots at JQ in this thread.

Oh Gob, amateurish and juvenile as usual, ignore away lightweight. There's not much worth contributing to PPrune anymore, engaging with you and your ilk is dull and achieves nothing. By all means continue to call it how you see it, point the finger at Q pilots and giggle about uniforms.

Oh and to the topic, **** happens, there will be a investigation and the three pilots involved will move on. So should everyone else.

Ollie

Would your sources not be better to send this sort of stuff or concerns to the regulator.
Oh ti’s a good day for a jolly good laugh. The “regulator”……….surely you can’t be serious?
When the “regulator” proves themselves to be good compliant girls and boys, they then get a $250K plus plus plus job at the particular operator.
Also, if you keep calling me sweetie or honey I am going to feel like I need to buy you a drink or something.
Prrrrrr, now you're talking.

Goblin
he has
bandit boy
Yet again jumping to assumptions and conclusions. The way things are going in a sick world Goblin, you and I might share the same toilet very soon.

Now Goblin …… actually is it ok to call you “The Gobler”? Being called “bandit boy” brings that name to thought. Meeoooww!

All of the 'facts' he has presented are just stuff that happens in an airline.
Rubbish. Typical state of denial and deflection when confronted.
It’s not appropriate on the Prune to start listing the “stuff that happens in an airline” of a certain operator. Be rest assured Gobler, you and your “management” spongers don’t want that to occur. We’ll let nature take it’s own path of exposing the weak and inept.

I'm complexed as to the reason you keep mentioning me getting dressed up in the new QF uniform. You're quite a kinky Gobler at times!

I'm off to bed now Gobler. I'll be thinking of ya.

So, anyway. Back to the thread topic maybe?

"I suggest some of you read the NTSB report regarding USAirways Flight 1702.Tail strikes across the board are not as uncommon as you think"

The USAir 320 only hit the tail because it fell bum first out of the sky in the same way that AF447 could therefore be considered a tail strike.

A320 tail strikes on takeoff are very rare and it would require a reasonably abusive takeoff technique to hit the tail.

So anymore insight into what may have happened? Incorrect GW used? Do JQ 320's give a master caution for flap/mcdu disagree? How does JQ calculate takeoff data? Aerodata, Octopus, ACARS RTOW, SMS RTOW, rule of thumb?

I am aware that you are aware of my previous username. It was not my decision to change usernames as a form of hiding my identity - it was a permissions error that the Australian pprune moderators were unable to resolve.
