Living in SoCal with a Daughter and family in MEL we regularly do the LAX/MEL non-stop. Both my wife and I enjoy the flight and WAY prefer it over stopping in Sydney, clearing customs, schlepping luggage and catching an internal flight down to Melbourne. For those who describe long flights as torture? Attitude, attitude attitude! Dreamliner economy is however, better than A380 economy. Especially as the A380 wags it's tail through the sky.

Mommy, Mommy, when I grow up can I be an "Influencer"?

"We appreciate the quick action of our team member who stopped the vehicle," the airline added in its statement. Given the $$$ of a collision with an aircraft (any aircraft) I'm thinking this guy should get a four figure bonus.

I'm getting an emotional support horse. Will it be ok to take it on my next flight?

Agreed. Perhaps he was flying the "Lesser Circle" route?

The aircraft disintegrated on impact. NO, WAIT - - - The nose gear collapsed with minor damage. Same thing isn't it? Man, I sure do miss real reporting and journalism!

Doing LAX/MEL on Qantas A380 this week. Done this flight numerous times on a Dreamliner so really looking forward to my first A380 experience. Just me and 400 or so of my closest friends!

Lot of comments but has anybody mentioned "Air Marshall". A quick bonk on the back of the head with a 3 D-Cell maglight could have saved a ton of grief here. No bullet exiting the pressurised hull. Clean solution?

Melbourne Australia, Melbourne Florida. Same place aren't they?

Howzabout a $250 charge for a service animal? That might sort things out a little.
