I received the email. I flew 35 sectors, with a total of 31227 km and 81 hours. This put me in the top 5%, although possibly not by much when I look at some of the figures above. I also did quite a lot of flying with Qantas. Would be interesting to see the figures from them. It might be...

Dr. Ralph, Thank you for your valuable comments. As you will have gathered, I am a big fan of SPPs. I see this one from PL8 as a great deal, and a good opportunity to build up my holding. I can see why some shareholders might be hesitant given the volatility in markets these days. Having...

PL8 is one of my favourite stocks - As a retiree, a fully-franked monthly dividend is a wonderful thing. I was very pleased to see this announcement today. It should be a very popular offer. I suppose the big question is whether there will be sufficient shares on offer to satisfy demand or...

For me, it is definitely the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, specifically the Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. I'm thinking of the SR71, the Concorde, and so much more, topped off by the Enola Gay, and the space shuttle Discovery. This is especially when you can walk right up to...

A question has been asked on Melbourne radio 3AW - Will England be having curry for lunch, hoping it might help them get (the) runs....

What a great idea! I could certainly see myself participating in something like this. The AFF Community would also provide a reasonable chance of finding a like-minded person, whether that was in terms of destinations or of particular interests, such as particular sports events, cultural...

That will be the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida.

But of course the F 111Gs the RAAF acquired from the USAF in the 1990s were originally FB 111s in service with USAF Strategic Air Command. With the closure of SAC, they were upgraded to become F 111Gs, and it was some of these which were transferred to the RAAF.

Australia has clearly lulled India into a false sense of security. Their plan was obviously to make a few runs ( those runs thanks largely to those in the lower half of the batting order) and then bowl India out for 36, again.... What could possibly go wrong? ;)

Has anyone been following the takeover for Oneview Holdings (OVH)? The takeover bid from Iress was at 0.40, with the stock trading at around 0.395, with it due to complete in a month from now, subject to shareholder approval. I was very pleased to see the bid from Iress has now been...

The award flight SC earning chart is still quite hard to find. It is at: https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/earn-points/airline-earning-tables/classic-flight-rewards.html

Around the time the Points Club started, it was light-on for detail and I couldn't see how many SCs were to be given for award flights. I did some research online and I found a chart listing of the SC levels for various flights. This was not on the Qantas website, but I cannot remember where I...

I agree with you in relation to the ARA actions in relation to CMW. I don't understand why anyone would accept a tiny premium on the current share price for a relatively small proportion of their holding, given the outcome will probably then see them locked into a minority shareholding. ARA...

My 14 yo son wanted to go there and as a result we went there about this time last year. I wasn't expecting much but was very pleasantly surprised. It is a very quiet place with lots of nature - national parks, seal colonies, magnificent ocean views, caves to explore, etc. Of course...

Qantas have released the result of the SPP. The offer was taken up by 8660 of 173343 eligible shareholders, with an issue price of $3.18, having raised $71.7 million of the $500 million sought. The shares are trading at about $3.42 at the moment, moving up with the market today, but I think...

As a WP, I received my 50 SC for August overnight. Long may they keep coming!

I agree that QAN domestic is an excellent business with a semi-monopoly into the future. The resuscitation of VA and the possibility of other domestic airlines, such as an expended Rex are unlikely to seriously impact QAN domestic anytime soon. My main concern is the size of the domestic...

I didn't qualify for the QAN SPP, but even if I had, I wouldn't be participating in this market. As the Covid situation continues to deteriorate, I cannot see any significant upside to the price of QAN in the foreseeable future. Of course, the price will turn upward in time, but the on-market...

If it does result in deaths, it is likely it would fall within the scope of the recently - introduced Victorian industrial manslaughter legislation.

I suspect the Qantas SPP will do okay, although there is not much of a margin in it for those who invest. While there are worries about the rate at which Qantas will recover in the short term, there are a lot of investors who have loads of cash looking for a home. I don't have a holding in...
