"...The Pope's airline for 5 centuries" "...the trade journal that has covered papal air travel for some centuries now". Spot the errors.

This is discrimination! There are a lot of people who, for whatever reason - medical or otherwise, cannot get vaccinated. I would hope therefore that QANTAS does not resume international flights for quite some time to come. It is all very well for Alan Joyce (who is obviously able to jump the vaccination queue) but a lot of people have to wait for the process to get to them. Here in Thailand I cannot get vaccinated until May next year. And there is no certainty of my getting vaccinated even then! When I do finally get vaccinated I think that QANTAS will not be on my list of choice airlines!

Yes, Dr Evil, I noticed the mistake just after I had submitted my comment but this forum does not allow editing nor does it allow me to delete which, had it done so, I would have been able to delete, correct and re-submit. Anyway, that aside; my mistake was a mere word which to most people would have been understood for what it was... a mistake!

The pilot should have called a PAN instead of describing his pending fuel starvation. He did not appear to go through basic checks like carb heat or mixture or fuel setting. When the engine stopped he should have called a MAYDAY. He did not trim for best cruise. He did not appear to show any concern, there was not even the slightest hint of panic. And contrary to the written article there was no sign of terrain problems

I think this video was staged, it appears to have been recorded after the incident.
