I'm really starting to get sick of all these Qantas stories. There has to be a reason why the media is "going for" Qantas all of a sudden. Every scratch in the paintwork or dirt on the windows is being written up in articles going on about the "beleagured airline" with "yet more problems in the air" and so on.

Every loose screw or dirty window is NOT front page news no matter how hard you try. There's plenty of more important things in the world to climb on your high horse about...
