steve31000 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Yikes! That was a close call. I think Qantas have had enough bad press for one week without a near miss as well! Well captured. Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAviator Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 you know, with some of the biased media coverage against Qantas I have been seeing lately, you could probably send this to one of the Aussie newspapers and they would actually act on it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Kane Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 I never thought about the bad Qantas press lately when I posted this but the truth is I was at the wrong altitude at the time. I was going eastbound at 31000' and should have been at 33000'. Good thing no paper work in FSX, otherwise I would have had my wings clipped foresure. I requested 33000' right after. Sometimes I forget that rule when I am flight planning as I have a habit if punching 31000' in the flight planner . So Qantas is vindicated. They are a great airline and I would fly them anytime.
