Thanks. I was looking for this yesterday but couldn't find it anywhere. I was sure I recalled something related to the 787 and its systems from 2018 but it was this, I think. operator error, something about being awake for 21 hours...

Barely useful as a simulator, certainly good as a big paperweight...this is seriously disturbing stuff if accurate. Yes this was one of my first thoughts/questions, too. As always, a lot of unanswered questions and Boeing at the forefront once again...hmm...

Don't give them any more ideas...

HK has fundamentally changed over the past 20-ish years. There should be not much doubt about that amongst anyone who has travelled there over time. I do not necessarily agree with @tomlee1986 that the potential acquisition of CX is to stop HK citizens departing for the UK. However what I do...

Completed as well, best of luck with completing your degree.

Another example of the beef short rib from late January, forgot to post at the time. It was decent. BNE-MEL flight included a small cake which I was surprised by.

Pretty quiet in the MEL lounge this morning. Usual good breakfast spread of fruit + cereals, yogurts, eggs, baked beans and pastries. Side note, took a big gamble coming to the airport hoping to fly ahead, thankfully I nabbed one of the last seats on the first flight out. MEL-PER is rather...

Agreed. People would be wetting themselves with the prospective potential buyers if they saw the list of interline partners VA has!

Just cancel the damn thing until someone willing to take on a PPP to have the right funding to build a serious line comes along. Sorry but there is a reason this project keeps getting kicked down the road (pun definitely intended)

Good.

Exactly, my understanding is they're at the mercy of their clients and whatever agreements they struck when the initial money was handed over. Of course they can negotiate accordingly. However, now that interest rates are high, attracting replacement capital comes at a cost and the calculation...

VARA is looking to get Capex approval for A220 or E190-E2 introduction. https://www.airlineratings.com/news/virgin-australia-regional-airlines-ponders-fokker-100-replacement/

https://www.afr.com/companies/transport/virgin-australia-records-higher-revenues-warns-of-challenges-ahead-20240305-p5f9yg Revenue up, solid profit, but headwinds for 2H.

The issues are much more complicated than that, I'm no defender of violent thugs but I've experienced worse at Aussie rule games than Football. But anyway, in this case, it's a good sponsorship for TK, in my opinion.

What wrong reasons? As opposed to EK being associated with Collingwood? I'd almost suggest the reverse is true, TK and the Turkish government are not exactly the most virtuous.

Not a great day for my family...one flying ZQN-xBNE-PER. Delayed out of ZQN due to late inbound (engineering), missed connection. Irrelevant in the end as VA474 was subsequently cancelled anyway. Hotel and cabcharges swiftly provided via email when misconnect was evident. Well handled overall...

No time to align things with work etc. It'll be back, I've no doubt.

Wow haven't seen those prices for ages to Perth. Shame didn't catch it this week. Oh well.

Qf60 delayed overnight. Have a rooftop view over the apron and wondered what a QF A332 was doing on a remote bay being put to bed for the night...curious to know the reason if anyone can assist. It may well mean check in will be chaos in the morning as I am flying on QF26. Also QF25 pushed...

I personally never really believe the CEOs of the ME carriers make many significant decisions. More so how to deliver the strategic objectives of their puppet masters.
