When ‘V1’ is announced, is there a time period when the decision to go/no go needs to be made, probably more the no go? Ie 1 or 2 seconds?

This could go on for a few days.

Looks like creeping a bit too close to DPS. Extends nearly into lunchtime tomorrow.

Looks like Jetstar spooked also. All flights cancelled. QF got its A330 out. EDIT: QF is sending its A330 back to Sydney.

That’s a lot of cash for a fleet of 30 odd Saabs. Entitlements only make up a small portion when checking the reports.

Spend $200 in one or more shops and get 1400 points. Lucky I need to go shopping for the office kitchen this week, otherwise, no chance.

Looks like they are not MAX flights so probably explains it, I recall Virgin had diversion challenges when operated with the -800s. Today appears mostly operated by the MAX

From the little that I’ve read, the issue is apparently, pilots going from the 717 to the 220 are taking a pay cut because a whole raft of allowances are no longer being paid. I guess the 2% factor is another issue, plus comparable aircraft E190 Captains are on a base of $240k. Even then A220...

I note the QF520 continued the runway heading on climb out. What happens if it’s say Runway 15 Departure from Cairns with a failure after V1? They have that sharp left bank after takeoff to avoid all that terrain ahead.

I understand very old A320s don’t have the wall in front of ABC, I think there is only about 3/4 left. The A321s that didn’t have the wall at ABC went to Qantas as Freighter conversions. I prefer the wall, without the wall people hang around for the bathroom and impede your space, at least...

Yes it’s the same. I don’t know why they don’t charge extra for 1DEF. I’ve never understood it as it’s the same. I think it’s a loophole that they have never come across. Jetstar Japan charge as an exit row on 1DEF on the A321Neo. Plus Jetstar on its A320s in 1DEF don’t charge as an exit row...

Just another Qantas subsidiary who are not offering a decent deal to flight crew. The same is occurring over in Network aviation in Perth, currently in court.

I see my upcoming two flights have been changed to a 737. By all reports they have significant HR issues in the flight deck.

ATC advised them to simply maintain runway heading on the comms. They then asked later on what they wanted to do next, which was return left circuit on 34L

The app only approach no doubt contributed to the demise. They caved in and introduced a website a month prior to collapse. I doubt a website would have saved them though. The house well was on fire by that point.

I don’t know how the Bonza yield strategy worked but it seemed to be at odds with the competitors/what the market was doing. I think the app had been a big problem also. I flew some MCY-MEL flights for $79 last minute on Bonza. The other three had fares above $400 with all seat maps full. I...

If you want to see what a one engine takeoff looks like, see here. Certainly the degraded climb performance is quite evident.

Scoot didn’t hang around long, abandoned the approach and went to Melbourne, must be tight on gas.

They called a Pan Pan Pan climbing out due engine failure. ATC advised parts over the runway. About 30 degrees in temp, blowing 15 knots so certainly good conditions for a grass fire. Certainly is one the older 737s. A321s can’t come soon enough.

I would have assumed, that employees who continue to complain to Management over it will have more bearing vs a passenger complaint who often goes as far as a customer team in Head Office who don’t send the thousands of complaints onwards to Management. We have had similar sort of issues in my...
