I'm just glad I'm not going to be flying with Qantas next September

Instead, I'll be flying to the locations of all of Italy's Rugby World Cup games courtesy of Air New Zealand. But that's not the point here. The point here is Qantas's recent safety record. Their planes have had four mid-air incidents (all engine problems) in ten days, the fourth one being an international Boeing 747 flight where smoke entered the cockpit and the pilots had to reach for their oxygen masks and turn back to Sydney. This latest incident is also the third one affecting their Boeing fleet, and if Qantas don't get their act together and investigate what is causing their planes' engines to fail in mid-flight (it could be poor workmanship at Boeing's factory), then nobody will want to fly with Qantas during the Rugby World Cup next September. And besides, Jetstar is cheaper.
