QANTAS is set to be a new PanAm -- once prestigious but doomed to an ignominious end. I flew PanAm once -- ONCE
Ansett was once a famous and successful Australian airline. Reg Ansett knew that customer service came first. But then his airline got into the hands of business-school types. It is now no more. QANTAS too is now in the hands of similar fools.
Judging by their behaviour, QANTAS subsidiary Jetstar should be renamed the "F*ck you" airline.

Qantas plane grounded after cockpit malfunction
A QANTAS international flight had to return to Australia half an hour after take-off after a technical glitch in the cockpit. The plane was travelling from Sydney to Jakarta, in Indonesia, when the crew was alerted to a problem.
"The flight QF41 took off from Sydney at 3.20pm but soon after a cockpit message alert was sent to the crew. "The captain followed procedures and returned to Sydney at 3.55pm.
"Engineers inspected the plane, as passengers stayed on board, and found out it was a false alarm within half an hour. "It then took another half an hour before a take-off slot could be found and the plane left for its destination of Jakarta at 4.55pm," a Qantas spokesman said.
