The Mysteriously Smelly Qantas Jets

True, we did tell you about those new jobs with Qantas, but that was before we heard about the current problems Australia's national carrier is having with strange smells.

About 10 days ago, a Perth to Sydney flight was canceled because a strange odor was found in the cabin area, and the problem couldn't be solved--many passengers had to spend the night uncomfortably in Perth airport before being put on planes the next day.

That was just the start of things. This week, a similar Qantas flight heading from Perth to Sydney had to get permission for priority landing after an unusual smell developed in the cockpit.

Unfortunately no reports will identify what kind of smells we're talking about. We do know the summer temperatures in Perth have been consistently over the century recently, so maybe we're talking BO drama. In any case, we hope Qantas fixes this stinky problem before we have to fly with them again.
