Maybe you guys should lay off him. If you don't want to read the news here because you read it on any of the numerous other news sources, that's fine. Just don't read this thread.

I've checked out the bolded news story on the above... - How can Rescue 65 Land at PMH - if there is no landing pad? (or is there?)

Land at Charles and ferry to PMH..... Only about a 5mins hop skip and a jump, unless you have a lead foot

The fully laden 737-300 was forced to divert to Adelaide one hour into a flight from Sydney to Perth because staff had forgotten to empy the toilets after the plane's last trip from Honolulu and consequently four of the seven weren't working, Fairfax reported.
The media Ballsed that one up big time, Qantas has only 5 737-300 aircraft and they all operate in New Zealand Domestically.

Secondarily a 737-300 has a range of 1600 NM

HNL to SYD is 4464 NM

Also a 737-300 and a -800 if i might add only has 3 toilets, not 7 like mentioned
