Have you actually flown a 747 ER? I guess not, as I’ve never heard a pilot describe an aircraft as ‘going tech’. |
"going tech" is not an expression usually heard in Australia although it's a very common substitute for 'U/S' in the UK.

Which has nothing to do with today’s medical diversion! |

Seems to me like a PAN and 7700 is entirely in order. I’m sure if it was your kid or parent dying on a plane you’d want the crew using every possible tactic available to them to get that plane on the ground as quickly and safely as possible. |

what makes you say the B744 are pieces of crap? heck even Delta or American and you will see how woeful the entire Qantas experience is these days, more specifically the 747. I have arrived at the conclusion that Qantas Management and employees think the current product and service standard is world class. But then why are they fairly non existent outside of Sydney? The competitors most certainly have them by the balls and rightly so! On an engineering front, well they cost 25-30% more to operate compared to a big twin which is why nobody else flies them anymore. Recently a charter group wanted a big heavy for a global charter, and they wouldn’t give QF the job until they refreshed the 747 Business cabin as they claimed it was prehistoric, so if your wondering why one bird has a more updated look. |

Where does it state anywhere that 7700 indicates ‘A/C in grave and imminent danger’? From Airservices Australia:
fair enough but I’ve had many medical emergencies in flight requiring priority and we didn’t set 7700.....or declare a PAN. just seems a little over the top. |
ACMS, If you don’t declare a PAN, ATC can’t do anything to help you with track shortening, high speed, zero delays etc. They will tell you as such if you’re ever in the situation, but once you use the magic PAN word they can move everyone else out of the way. |
BEER BARON...
In-flight emergencies | Airservices Right there. "A ‘mayday’ call indicates an aircraft is in grave and imminent danger and requires immediate assistance. " |
How can an aircraft be in grave and imminent danger? Surely it is the occupants needing assistance!

Simply declared a medical emergency, requested priority and it WAS DONE. High speed direct number 1, all ok. |
