Qantas A380 Slat Delamination

[cove]

Get out the gaffer tape?

 

[Melburnian1]

During the afternoon of Wednesday 10 December, 'The Australian' and 'The Age' have finally run a story (online) about A388 VH-OQC's loss of a wing slat (see above).

'The Age' story makes no mention of the actress who broke the story. 'The Australian' mentions her. A possible explanation is the story originally appeared in 'Herald Sun' that like 'The Oz' is a News Ltd publication.

Both carry former Oz Ambassador to the USA Joe Hockey's reaction about QF12 being cancelled on 7 December as 'You must be kidding'. (Mr Hockey was apparently accommodated on another flight, details unknown).

I like the fact that Hockey’s message mentions a special VIP Service team that are working to rebook him as he’s probably CL (unlike the rest of us which were left stranded)

What was your delay?

Seemingly @Spamam got onto AA to BNE then down to SYD, but suffered further delays in the AA flight.

Yesterday at 4:12 PM

Aa42 was delayed a couple of hours due to a faulty hold heater. Landed at 845 and the 9am bne to syd flight was in the app and boarding. Qantas put me on the 1255 and got in at 330. Points upgrades maintained from LAX to SYD despite everything. Could have been a lot worse but I’ve lost a day. Now for SYD traffic.
