Our Qantas. Poor kid was either on a flight the day after the Bangkok episode, or on the flight and the message worked.
The Bangkok episode?
During the week, they landed a Jumbo at Bangkok on battery power after loosing ALL normal elec systems because of a fault 30 minutes out. Spin doctors claimed that they have a 1 hr battery backup capacity, cause of problem unknown, but was being investigated and would not affect other aircraft.
Next day problem identified as a leak in a galley sink shorting out main power buss from generators, taking out all generators, and a further 6 aircraft grounded for repair.
Glad the problem didn't appear crossing the Pacific.
