Unscheduled toilet stop for Qantas jet
Don't know whether to laugh or cry at this one.
As amusing as the incident is though, the tone of the delivery of this report and drawing paradigms with the QF30 incident shows how lacking in perspective some journos are!
THE run of bad luck afflicting Qantas took a graphic turn last night when a fully loaded 767 flying from Sydney to Perth was forced to stage an unplanned landing in Adelaide so its toilets could be emptied.
Flight staff on QF571 told passengers that Sydney ground staff had forgotten to empty the toilets on the 737-300, which originated in Honolulu.
By the time the flight had been in the air for an hour, three of the toilets had ceased to function.
"I drink it when I'm happy and when I'm sad. Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and I drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it, unless I'm thirsty." Lily Bollinger on champagne
SMH.com.au has now amended the report to read 737 (and 737-300) in pars one and two. Having said that, is there a chance it's still wrong? I would've thought Honolulu to Sydney would be a bit of a strecth for a 737...as would be SEVEN toilets?!
Perhaps mistaken with a 767-300 (which Qantas uses for a fair few intl runs)?
Jeez I'm turning into a plane geek - not helped by going out with a sub-editor for four years!
