This is discrimination! There are a lot of people who, for whatever reason - medical or otherwise, cannot get vaccinated. I would hope therefore that QANTAS does not resume international flights for quite some time to come. It is all very well for Alan Joyce (who is obviously able to jump the vaccination queue) but a lot of people have to wait for the process to get to them. Here in Thailand I cannot get vaccinated until May next year. And there is no certainty of my getting vaccinated even then! When I do finally get vaccinated I think that QANTAS will not be on my list of choice airlines!

Yes, Dr Evil, I noticed the mistake just after I had submitted my comment but this forum does not allow editing nor does it allow me to delete which, had it done so, I would have been able to delete, correct and re-submit. Anyway, that aside; my mistake was a mere word which to most people would have been understood for what it was... a mistake!

The field was there as if 'on cue'.

The pilot should have called a PAN instead of describing his pending fuel starvation. He did not appear to go through basic checks like carb heat or mixture or fuel setting. When the engine stopped he should have called a MAYDAY. He did not trim for best cruise. He did not appear to show any concern, there was not even the slightest hint of panic. And contrary to the written article there was no sign of terrain problems

I think this video was staged, it appears to have been recorded after the incident.

No it is latitude, but I am wrong because it is on minute of latitude on the equator.

The nautical mile is equal to one degree of latitude at the equator. It is therefore easier to measure a nautical mile on a nautical chart. Early long haul aircraft were flying boats and the navigators used nautical charts to navigate and select suitable landing places - and the measure has stuck. One knot is one nautical mile per hour and the unit of airspeed on all western aircraft (Chinese and Russian aircraft might be different)is the knot.

How does Delta define 'civility' in this context? This notice shows concern for Delta employees, which is a good thing, but borders on contempt for its custoers. On occassions I have witnessed cabin crew arrogance and disrespect to customers particularly when they have been called to account; under Delta's 'civility' ruling crew can, and likely will, take advantage of this. This is not good for any passengers whether they are offending or otherwise. If I was living within Delta's sphere of operations I would feel very reluctant to travel on its aircraft with this.

I wonder whether its mission objective is to provide aerial services to undeveloped reefs and islets in the Soutyh China Sea and the East China Sea.
