Pooh on the tray table and screeching wheels

Made a few domestic flights on Jetstar this week. Flying from Sydney - north I ordered an expensive beer and nuts. On folding down the tray I discovered a filthy mess and something that looked like a gekko or mouse pooh. Called the waitress over and she said that she wasn`t paid to clean trays. She reluctantly went to the back of the plane and came back with a few tissues to wipe off the offending item. To be fair I couldn`t identify it as being a poo or some small piece of chocolate as both tables were flithy from the preceding customers.

On a second flight from Brisbane to Cairns the wheels were screeching and groaning as we taxied out for the take off. I was hoping the sound was from the tow vehicle but this was not the case. After recent Qantas problems with Airbuses I was quite concerned as were all the other passengers. On approach into Cairns the same screeching and groaning sounds came as the undercarriage came down. We landed safely but flying a plane is not the same as bashing around the outback in an HR and any airline that can`t be F@#ked oiling the wheel bearings needs to be seriously checked by an adult safety agency.

This trip was my first using Jetstar ( total 6 flights including 3 international) and I will do my best not to patronise cut corner budget airlines again.
