QANTAS problems? Have you reconsidered?

Question

How is it that what was once the safest airline to fly with, worldwide, is now suffering questionable problems?

I'm presuming the sending off-shore of all maintenance is a huge contributor to the problem.

Sure, it might be cheaper to have it done in Malaysia but the results in aircraft performance (or lack of performance) and the resulting lack of customer satisfaction MUST make the extremely overpaid executives take some sort of notice?????

I would have chosen QANTAS first time every time but now........

What do you think?

Have you been put off flying QANTAS?

Answer 1

my opinion is that airline has always had these little problems but the press has just started to pick up on it because the staff have started being treated badly so they have told press.

and i will probably be flying another airline next time i fly

Answer 2

I know what you mean, i'd be a little concerned myself if i had to fly with them now, well that's what you get for sending the work offshore, i hope they wake up to themselves shortly and do most of the work on home soil.

Answer 3

They're suffering problems because the manufacturers from malaysia 'signed of on jobs they didn't do', and inserted wrong wiring. I've been very put of flying QANTAS and i don't think i'll ever fly it again. My sister flew QANTAS and she said it was the worst airline ever.

Answer 4

i think that Quantas got undue publicity on its 'no crash' in the movie the rainman.  simultaneously, undue expectations got built up.  It was and is as any other normal decent carrier then and even today and one should not look at micro instances and change their minds.
