Just as well he didn’t work at Qantas, an A380 would have caused a bit more damage.

Geezus, that company flew us out to the reef from Port Douglas a couple of years ago, I wonder if it was one our pilots! :shock:

He was a Kiwi who only had been here for 4 months, had a NZ pilot’s licence but was not licensed to fly here. Was only 22.

Ahh cool, I feel better now. Our guys seemed pretty cool so I would have been surprised if it was one of them.

Yep, apparently it was only a 4 min flight before he crashed.

I suppose we’ll never know what was going through his head, but as you suggested, there are reports coming out that he was pissed as the last time people saw him earlier that night.

It’s a miracle he didn’t kill anyone else.

Some reports that he was dropped home by a work colleague as he was drunk and he woke up a few hours later and thought he would take a chopper for a spin.

With the massive rent increases how much money are the real estate agents collecting.
Property managers are actively telling their landlords to cash in, ***k the tenants and put rents up to a ridiculous amount.
The more rent money, the more the property managers get for no more work or effort.
If that's how property management goes is it any wonder rents are so ridiculously high.
