Once again, when we have a safety/maintenance type issue Jetstar is nicely embedded within the Qantas Group.
"Jetstar's corporate relations general manager Simon Westaway said the pilot who extinguished the fire was "very experienced''.

"He has over 12,000 hours in flight experience - he's a 14-year pilot and he's come out of Qantas, so they're a very experienced crew on the flight,'' Mr Westaway said.

"We've advised the relative authorities, we're working with them, and Qantas engineering are also working on it as well."

Contrast that to whenever you need Customer Service .... We're not Qantas, we're not a full-service airline etc etc
