Anyone know which ports are definitely weighing hand baggage and which are not? I’ve been weighed at MEL/SYD/CNS. I’ve noted the morning bank from Melbourne they have a team that go gate to gate. She told me the max over weight is 8kg they will let you off with or anything in the 7s essentially.

What once was a very popular destination last decade has certainly fallen off a cliff. Some of those loads are pretty poor looking at other months also. It’s become a very pricey destination now, with all the extra low cost capacity from Australia into Bali, Pacific and Asia, it seems like the...

King is a disgrace. They are all well and truly in bed with the airlines.

If they get extra bilaterals down the track the will drop Canberra like a hot potato.

Pretty thin route, seat maps are a little light on, definitely a Bonza like route. I think NTL-ADL would have been better. I think the Minns Government had an incentive scheme out funding some new routes however.

Stay away from this carrier, Google News has some interesting stories and it just feels like it’s probably one to stay away from, schedule reasons and safety also.

I don’t think many would be surprised by this. We haven’t seen great transparency in many accidents in recent times, the 737 that went down in China, the 737 in Korea, and I wouldn’t expect too many details forthcoming with the 747 that went off the runway in Hong Kong. How any court can rule...

Bit of overtime today no doubt for a few engineers!

Seat Map look relatively full ish, the Brisbane to Cebu flight seems to be full for next month, most flights left are $1k each way, I think that one will do well.

AV, I’ve noticed Alliance backtrack all runways when operating, even for small flights on long runways, no intersection departures like a similar VA or JQ flight did, any ideas why they do this?

I would imagine it won’t takes weeks, they don’t have a huge fleet on a scale compared to others, I would expect engineers to get around most of the fleet this weekend. Looking at what’s in the air now they have already done a huge chunk already.

Network has a very old fleet so perhaps it’s also related to age, ie older aircraft didn’t get that specific problematic update for whatever reason?

Jetstar have said engineers need the aircraft for 1-2 hours.

The target demographic here would be rather small. I mean, he would probably have a group inside QF that would buy it, some curious employees and those who side with him. Outside of that, perhaps some rusted on QF loyalists, and some Baby Boomers. Probably a few hundred copies but certainly...

Any word yet on when these aircraft will hit BNE-CNS/TSV/MKY? Alliance is always late these days it’s beyond a joke.

That’s what I think is the whole purpose. He is trying to advertise himself to potential boards. I wonder if he will talk about why he intentionally participated in illegal behaviour. As far as I see he is a corporate criminal.

I guess Jayne Hrdlicka is another. Probably pulled up to $100m in her time at Virgin, not to mention millions before that job, and now is going to run Dan Murphys. Now if I had a few hundred million, you know you only live once, spend that last 30-40 years living life.

The website has been dead all afternoon.

Wouldn’t you just take your hundreds of millions and just disappear?

If you have refundable travel booked in the future be it hotels or car hire etc, worth having a look re pricing, some of my bookings have dropped in price for the Black Friday period.
