Changed dynamic list wording

Dynamic lists are for things which change too quickly to be set in stone. This is not the case for this page - the historical things should stay the same and if a new accident were to occur - a change can easily be made. There is nothing stopping this article from being complete - so I have changed the dynamic list wording. novacatz 08:31, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Name

Would this be better as List of Qantas accidents and incidents rather than concentrated on just fatal accidents it could become a better and expanded daughter article. MilborneOne (talk) 21:44, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Which QANTAS

QANTAS was nationalized in 1953 and legally speaking was a new entity. The board was appointed by governments and operating losses were covered. (They apparently had a few break-even years.) Like Ansett, they were essentially military contractors during WW2, but the only permitted international carrier. Their turnover during 1946-53 was closely tied to government-payed passengers. The industry catchcry of QANTAS during the 60s and 70s was that they had never "killed a paying passenger", and not the more popular claim "never crashed". Clearly, that really only applied to the post '53 airline. Post '53 there has been only one hull loss accident. An L1049 freighter, on temporary loan from Lockheed, caught fire while taxiing in Mauritius.203.221.203.50 (talk) 01:38, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
