    Jayne Hrdlicka to resign as CEO

    Anything is possible. Like the mess she was involved with at A2 I’m sure we will hear more as people start talking. Apparently there wasn’t a wet eye at Southbank though 😂

    Jayne Hrdlicka to resign as CEO

    Blind Freddy saw that one coming. A bunch of Bain plants have now been moved on, they missed all their windows (and hefty bonuses!). Now it will be most interesting what type of management they put in - and what will their mandate and end goal will be. Firstly it will have to be to try and...

    AA to fly BNE to DFW [confirmed]

    I think QF/AA are building the network carefully, the NZ routes are certainly putting pressure on NZ.

    How did you feel about losing your airline/hotel elite status?

    Hotels - Don’t care about dropping hotel status, offers not much you can’t buy pretty easily these days and I often prefer the independent hotels anyway, more unique, interesting not the ‘fake unique’ brands the big chains have tried to create! Airlines - dropped from VA2 WP to SG - don’t care...

    FAA grounds 737 Max 9 Aircraft Indefinitely after Alaska Airlines incident

    Just an interesting data point. Family member was booked onto a VA2 Max flight (originally it was a 738 at point of booking some point changed for some reason). Very uncomfortable to fly this variant at all even though the Alaska incident was the -9. I called VA2 customer service to try and...

    Luxury Escapes partners with Velocity Frequent Flyer

    A little bit random, but corporate AFF people who follow theaussiecorporate corporate ’gossip’ IG account would have seen they reported Velocity and Luxury Escapes are parting ways. Rumour / bucket salt.

    Brisbane Hotel Question

    Restaurants are a bit more ‘touristy’ in Southbank if that is of interest to you. I’d say better restaurants on the other side, down by the river near bridge (Note: better for Brisbane, if you are from Melbourne your assessment scale will be different). Shopping of interest I’d stay city side...

    FAA grounds 737 Max 9 Aircraft Indefinitely after Alaska Airlines incident

    Interestingly today on a QF 73H flight, the person ahead of me boarding asked the boarding agent - ‘Is this one of the 737 Max air planes that have all the safety problems and the accident last week? The boarding agent said ‘No, no problems with us we don’t have any Max Boeing aircraft and...
