Actually, Qantas have had about 6 incidents this year, but I wonder how many of them have only attracted media attention because of the 1st incident over the South China Sea.
Fact of the matter is, since Qantas began outsourcing their maintenance to Malaysia there have been more maintenance-related delays and a higher number of reported incidents than when all maintenance was done here.
I don't like flying with them anyway though, hostesses are all old and crabby, and the aircraft they use are 'well worn'. I'll take Virgin any day.
