Another Airbus A330 has huge tech problems and is forced to land. Not a particularly good sign.

An Australian passenger plane with 203 people on board has been forced into an emergency landing after a fire broke out in the cockpit. The Airbus A330, operated by Jetstar, was flying from Japan to Australia when a window in the cockpit caught fire.The pilots managed to put out the fire before landing in Guam. Jetstar said all of those on board were unharmed. A similar model of the Airbus, operated by Air France, crashed on a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris last week. All 228 passengers died in that incident.
