    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Warsaw does load control for all International flights (and paper work being digital). I believe they may even do all domestic now too.

    Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates

    OQL is scheduled to go in for refurb next month. Part planning takes years and remember this was all done pre covid, so the seats would've already been ordered.

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    Any increases in the media I would read with a grain of salt. I mean look at this ridiculous claim in a Sky New article. 60%!!! Rubbish. My mates are telling me for some crew, it is as low as 9% for the duration of the agreement.

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    There has been no offer to crew and some of the numbers that my friend has shared showed single digit increases over the agreement. That amount will easily put them under the modern award by next year when it's increased. And yes, as I posted before, a large majority of crew in Australia got a...

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    Ground staff got up to 20% and from speaking to friends, that is incorrect that all crew are getting 15%, majority are getting single digit pay rises based on the current offer.

    Late, late and late again....

    That "trick" doesn't work in the premium cabins.

    Late, late and late again....

    Not at QF - it is on because they expect turbulence. I do know other airlines that almost leave it on the whole flight, so do understand why you'd ignore it, but that isn't a QF policy and so if it's on, something is indicating it could be rough.

    Late, late and late again....

    Terrible advice. The seat belt sign is on for a reason and QF pilots don't do it for giggles. If it's on stay seated, don't see why thats such a hard request. It's also a lawful instruction. And if you stand on QF, they will tell you to sit.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Looks like a local print if there was an issue with the menu not being loaded - some ports will try printing if they were not loaded ex Australia, as the main menu is the same as the breakfast one you had. So I say that a good thing it was at least on paper, because they've tried to get...

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    That applied to crew working for 2 subsidiaries (Qantas owned, purely for crew) and 2 labour hire companies, with 6 different contracts. Might be some other workgroups I'm missing. QF Link is slightly different as they a bunch of smaller airlines such as Eastern, Sunstate, Network etc. Although...

    Sure is, albeit a soft launch and only between certain city pairs

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    So across the airline groups - nearly all cabin crew are on the same base wage (not including managers). When the modern award was increased, it raised the wages for a lot of crew. At Virgin, they work on tiered system for pay based on years of service up to 7 or 8. The modern award increase...

    Stupid and silly QF catering questions

    It really depends when in the evening. If it’s around 8:20pm it is dinner out if MEL. The later one that departs 11pm is only a supper. That means no bar for all cabins, no entree in J, no ice creams in W/Y.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Ex SIN only the 380 services don’t have the card into Australia for breakfast. They have lights on low and a tray mobile goes out.

    Qantas Cops Least Reliable Airline for October

    I have commented before somewhere that the data is useless without the reasons behind it. All airlines have systems in place for where there is a delay, the system asks for a please explain. There are hundreds of codes (IATA delay codes - Wikipedia). The systems are set up so that something or...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    QF79 had a 12 hour delay and departed not long ago at 2315. This will have an impact to the QF62 due out around 5am. Because of the delay and duty hours, there may be more delays tomorrow ex HND.
