‘11 years of hell’: the badly injured Qantas steward who was forgotten l mattonews

Fuzzy Maiava's life entered a downward spiral on October 7, 2008, a day after his birthday.

Former Qantas flight attendant Fuzzy Maiava says he has endured '11 years of hell' since Qantas Flight 72Seven months after the incident, his daughter is still in need of 24-hour care due to serious brain injuries. Qantas had earlier offered him a one-off payment of $NZ35,000 following the incident but Mr Maiava said he had been advised against accepting it because it would have prevented him from taking part in any class action in the US against Airbus and Northrop Grumman."The doors are closed – I'm devastated. That's why I think, 'what have I done to deserve this'?" he said. "It's been 11 years of hell. The system let me down.

'I’ve become very isolated': the aftermath of near-doomed QF72Faced with a mid-flight computer failure, a captain had only seconds to steer his plane to safety. It took much longer to work through the mental fallout. The problem is the modern so-called airline pilot, surrounded by technology, finds difficult to understand, has ended up like a cockpit manager. Lost the art of flying with just an AH, AS, DG, ALT. TACHO. Too much reliance on technology not enough of his own skills. I have seen too many Aircraft Crash Investigations episodes to want to fly anymore in airliners. I am now a student pilot in RAA, my training aircraft has all “steam” gauges. Will never fly with glass cockpit. I am the pilot and the buck stops with me, not a heap of computers.

Acclaimed poet Fiona Wright's assistance dog knocked back from Qantas flightAfter providing rounds and rounds of documentation over a seven-week period, Australian poet Fiona Wright was told she could not take her assistance dog aboard a Qantas domestic flight. BarkyMalarkey1 Given that assistance dogs are provided for a myriad of disabilities ranging from anxiety to PTSD [1]I suppose airlines are fearful that a plane might one day be filled with pax + pet. 1. Assistance dogs a much better behaved then some of the public. Shame on you Qantas

‘Bang and sparks’ on Qantas flightA Qantas flight departing Tokyo bound for Sydney was forced to divert and land in Cairns after passengers heard a “loud bang” from their aircraft’s engine. Thats the thing with Qantas their fleet is ageing and I avoid them where I can. This aircraft is a 747-400 and most airlines in the world retired that aircraft type years ago. That model first came to service in 1989.
