    New aviation industry ombudsman in Australia

    The Govt has already said it's not going to be an EU rules type set up, but more like the Banking Ombudsman.

    New aviation industry ombudsman in Australia

    Yes, the White Paper is out today and we can all read and have our 2 cents of input. It's a start and an Acting Ombudsman starts today.

    The Dark side of Japan Tourism.

    Generalisations aren’t helpful either, and while plenty of places have a dark side in the past many have moved on and trying for the continuous improvement and progressive approach and many who are not. I don’t travel to some places on principal like if they stone people to death. For the...

    Alan Joyce to leave Qantas immediately

    Covid was an airline killer and hospitality killer in general so I don’t judge an airline on their behaviour in that period. I do believe AJ didn’t do things without the backing of others and the board backs the CEO and therefore needs broom through that level as well.

    Qantas Error Fare: First Class to Los Angeles from Sydney $4,299 return @qantas.com (several dates incuding xmas holidays)

    Lost in translation between Mascot and the overseas centre which uploads the fares. Instead of the sale fare being discounted by this amount it was input as the fare. I’m sure this problem has now been resolved. 😄

    I get what you are saying. Not being as bad as another country doesn’t make it acceptable though.

    Sydney Metro Chatswood to Sydenham line now open

    Yes I realise that, just pointing out there was a line to Castle Hill and it was closed then suddenly it's a great 'new' idea to have a railway to Castle Hill.

    Sydney Metro Chatswood to Sydenham line now open

    The Rogans Hill (Castle Hill) line opened in 1902.... Rogans Hill railway line - Wikipedia Governments and corporations who build infrastructure have a habit of claiming many firsts which when you do the research is malarkey. Another annoyance is the closure of a rail line then reopen it as a...

    Sydney Metro Chatswood to Sydenham line now open

    Compared to the XPTs for long runs the the new trains will be a poor cousin for travel comfort unfortunately. There was a chance it would be better but alas not. I'm not talking about seat comfort, but over all experience. Engines under the floor of each car, vibration, noise, versus now where...

    What was your pointless work trip?

    Meeting with customer in Johannesburg, flew from Sydney and he didn’t turn up or even leave a message to say he was unavailable.

    Maybe not, but what I’m hearing from your post is they treat nationals equally as poorly and over a traffic accident. A sign of not being as civilised as the shiny outside might suggest.

    As Pushka points out, this could have been anyone of us. I'll be sure to share you story with others. If I run into you anywhere (no pun intended) I'll be sure to ‘buy the man a beer’.

    Sydney Metro Chatswood to Sydenham line now open

    For those a bit out of date, Rosehill no longer has heavy rail (or any rail), last train was 4 January 2020. They rebuilt it into a tram line but instead of heading the the Sydney CBD it turns right and goes to Parramatta but before getting to Rosehill. Shot of the last day of the line to...
