Quantas announced this week that they are going to allow passengers to send sms during internal flights in Australia, according to 160 Characters, among others. Well, at least they’ll test it on one plane for 12 months.
This is a smart move.
Firstly, as you’re not going to be sitting next to some load mouthed Ozzie shouting at his phone “Yes Sheila, I’m on a plane” as they won’t make voice services available.
Secondly, if the myth that mobile phones do somehow cause planes to crash does prove to be correct, the effects are going to be somewhat limited. Not much compensation if you’re flying on it, but don’t worry, I’m sure it’ll be fine.
Note to self. Avoid internal Quantas flights to Oz for the next year.
“QANTAS”, no “u”.
Yes Gabe I was thinking the same
Queensland And Northern Territory Air Service
Also not all of Australia is full of loud-mouthed yobs who say “Shelia”m just most of it ya bloke
Hey guys. Not my fault if your national airline doesn’t know how to spell
In the ads, they say “Quantas”, not “Q- antas” so take your case up with them.
But I’m certainly not anti-strine in any way. Some of my best friends etc etc
Thanks for the comments as always,
