Doesn't appear to have made any of the mainstream media.

I know this is a new fangled composite airframe but a heavy landing cracking windows and wings????????? If it was that heavy it wouldn't have left the runway without a truck....:D
|
Seems to be fit to fly
|
Nice video taken on the 14th NOV 2013 and not relevant to the current subject about the 787 parked in Cairns during JAN 2014.:ugh:
|
Rumour has it that it have a heavy landing but is now Ok. Insufficient staff or similar to start ops over the new year.
|
Easy fix those cracks, stop drill them, & ya good to go:ok:

pieces of the puzzle
from mgmt on the 10th Dreamliner number three on its way This weekend we welcome our third Boeing 787 Dreamliner into Australia. Our first 787 has been operating from Melbourne to Bali over the festive season, allowing thousands of Jetstar customers to experience this game-changing new aircraft. Next week we will commence 787 services from Sydney to Bali with our second 787, which has been undergoing its AOC validation activities since arriving in Australia. Our third 787 will commence Phuket services at the start of February. VH-VKB ? 31-Dec-2013 ? YMML / MEL - YBCS / CNS ? FlightAware vkd appears to be in cns History ? VH-VKD ? FlightAware |
Lucky they have that hangar in Melbourne for all that non core maintenance work.
Heavy landings perhaps. RAT infestations. AS Bill says, "its all happening out there." |
Just fishing through the aforementioned http://thejetstarsource.com indicates that the same 787 has operated MEL-DPS everyday since 18 Dec. Not bad intro to service for a new and very different type.

Who does Steve Purvinas work for? Air Asia?? :suspect: Besides, a few dabs of epoxy works wonders on this new-fangled composite stuff, don'cha know?? :suspect:
Would this be the same bloke, who was reportedly urging people to avoid making Christmas holiday bookings on Qantas?? :suspect: |
SP and his world view are part of the problem. Union thugery old style is alive and well and will be the end of QF in its present form.
Viva la old days huh!!!!! |
Rather than personal attacks on Steve wouldn't it be better to try and find out if the rumour about a hard landing on the 787 is fact or fiction.

and "via twitter @StevePurvinas" Dont you mean wouldn't it be better if Steve found out the facts before tweeting it? |
Someone had better tell Southwest Air that they are doing it wrong.
You'd think that a guy who had been at Ansett, Qatar and Korean would have learned by now not to be a management stooge. |
Another empty Jetstar flight! Amazing Business!:D
|
Don't those new-fangled plastic thingees land themselves? :uhoh:
|
. . . is still sitting there!
