    What cheeses me off

    Happens on mainland too. People like to get into "correct" lane early. The pacific highway on the north shore of Sydney heading north is like that. Lots of 3 lanes becoming 2. Left laners will always get home quicker in the afternoon. So I will always zoom up the left lane and then indicate to...

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    I think the waybill comes after the ride so that is not relevant to the discussion - it just has details of the completed trip. The gold/diamond guys just cancel on the info uber gives them re estimated duration of trip and general direction.

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    The lower tier Ubers drivers don't. They won't be the ones cancelling as they don't have visibility into the likely length of ride. The ones who are cancelling are those with visibility about the length of the trip and general direction of destination. These are the Uber gold and Diamond...

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    Sure, and I think is hard for drivers to make a living out of this. However, the problem is the enticement of the low fares. Thats an Uber problem and also a customer's problem - they now expect the lowest possible fares which are often unsustainable. I just dont think surge pricing is the way...

    Not exactly, its whether one broker provides different advice to different clients. TGh correctly says different clients may have different investment goals and risk appetite which would influence a broker's advice. But what if they were clients of the same investment/risk profile?. Would...

    JQ Pax attempts to open cabin door

    Possibly but previous history of media "experts" commentary suggest the "expert" has not factored that in.

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    yes and with coordination, they dont turn on their apps until a little later. No, repeated cancellations by a driver reduces their rating. IIRC they can only cancel less than 3% of requests to maintain a certain level of status.

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    But you have not addressed how Uber drivers manipulate surge pricing. All they have to do is to coordinate with other drivers when to turn on their apps.

    JQ Pax attempts to open cabin door

    My QF CSM friend calls the QF flights to DPS the "vomit comet" ..... And a "senior lecturer in aerospace engineering" says the doors are armed as a security measure and must be disarmed by the pilots to allow them to open" 🤣:

    1Cover - requiring pre-payment / going hard on pre-existing conditions?

    @Katie B Welcome to AFF I understand if you prefer not to rehash the whole saga (though you are free to do so here) I just wanted to tie up some loose ends : Did the CC actually get charged or was it a pre- authorisation? If the CC was charged was it all reimbursed?

    What cheeses me off

    WCMO : the thing with motorised trunk/boot opening is that sometimes you are not fast enough to catch it before it bangs against something. For me it was a low ceiling at one section of Woolies.

    Declined for Citi Premier - how long before I can reapply

    Yes churning reduces the CS: - multiple applications from the CC provider point of view - their view is you are possibly applying for Cc because you need cash.
