FOUR baby snakes grounded a Qantas plane in Melbourne after they made a doomed bid for freedom during a flight from Alice Springs.
The four baby Stimson's pythons were found to be missing from their container on Tuesday when the flight arrived in Melbourne. The 15cm snakes were among 12 pythons in a container in the Boeing 737-800's cargo hold, a Qantas spokeswoman said. Two flights had to be cancelled while staff searched for the missing snakes, but they could not be found. The plane was fumigated and returned to service the following day, the spokeswoman said. Stimson's pythons, which can grow up to one metre long, are not venomous and live in Western and central Australia.

All they needed was some black guy who likes swearing and they'd be set for the sequel.

Qantas should of never sent maintenance over seas. They have gone from safest air record in the world to nothing. within a year. I give them 2 years and they will go under. I hope this is not the case because virgin blue seriously sucks.

Ansett went bust because they allowed the union to ride rougshod over them, such as having 3 flight crew in a cockpit that only requires 2, yet an inability to make the engineer redundant meant he had to sit and watch from the observers seat, whilst being paid in full. Overstaffing, poor maintenance and a union that crippled restructuring spelt the death of Ansett. How it lasted so long is beyond comprehension.

This type of post has no place on AFF! Imagine a well thought out, well writen, well researched post! In the Bar!!!
Ansett went as long as they did because the backers were trying to save it, with the help of the Australian Government. If they had folded earlier, some of those backers may have walked with a little of there money retained. Instead, in a desperate bid to save it, all they were left was a bitter, union induced, taste in their mouths. Well said LTD! Quote:
