Is this going to be another Qantas & Jetsar 'Cover Up'

Jetstar spokesman Simon Westaway said the airline provided information speedily to the bureau and Civil Aviation Authority and would not provide further comment.

Investigation after alleged take-off on unlit runway
I don't know why the media bothers to ask Simon Westaway any questions as the only answer he can give seems to be vague.

After any incident with Qantas and Jetstar they say the least that they can and hope the details drift out of the public's minds.

Why can't they "Yes the pilots got it wrong" and cop it on the chin instead of being like a school child and hiding behind the toilets.

Australian travelers get an idea of incidents but no concrete follow up if Qantas or Jetstar are in the wrong.

How many foreign travelers will not be told of the illegal and dangerous actions of Jetstar and assume that it is up to standard. Well most of the time perhaps but who wants to be on board when they are not.

Engine failures DO happen and this is a case that everyone on board was lucky that it didn't happen on this take off and a quick return to the airport was required.

Civil Aviation Authority have rules but Qantas and Jetstar assume that by being mighty they can make their own as was the case when Qantas ignored TWO psychiatrists reports and illegally cleared me to fly putting hundreds of lives at risk.

Melissa Thomson, Qantas P.R. missleads police in extortion claim

Melissa Thomson, a Qantas spokesperson must like the power of her position.
After I had a conversation with her about my Staff Travel entitlement from Qantas she threw away all the sympathy she gave on the phone and reported to the police events that were untrue and quite bizarre. So much so that the police visited me with the intention of charging me with extortion. The police later told me that the discussions that I had with Melissa Thomson were not a police matter.
The Qantas chief of security at the time Laurrie Rat told me later that he had got it wrong.
In panic at the thought of being charged with EXTORTION I rang CASA and they sent me my medical file which showed the ILLEGAL actions of Qantas in clearing me to fly with thoughts to shut down all engines of a 747.
After 7 years Qantas will still not admit their gross mistake nor will they discuss it. I rang Melissa Thomson 07 32382720 this morning to discuss the police report but she hung up. Great PR officer.
