Your call is important to us, but due to the extremely large volume of calls that we are currently experiencing, please ring back at a much later date.

They'll simply reduce their non management staff salaries by 8%. Fixed. Perhaps a more effective penalty would be to give all of the money to their competitors....

It was designed to kill the 380 service out of Melbourne via Singapore, and it achieved that admirably.

The pilots don’t need to be trained. QF could schedule regular 380 services tomorrow, and the pilots would be immediately ready. I recall the days when we flew a lot out of Adelaide in the 767. I always got the feeling that the only reason anyone wanted QF there, was so that they could get...

Mentour is doing a multi part series on Boeing. Well worth watching. I think we can all think of other companies that the same lessons apply to.

Well, there's precedent... https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/01/former-astronaut-files-1000s-of-noise-complaints-against-reagan-national/

QF is fortnightly. It was monthly, but changed about 30 years ago. One for AV, but my understanding is that quite a few are VA1, and may actually have some rights to return.

Ah, I see your error. When you say LCC, you think the low cost applies to you. They’re worthwhile routes. But, QF isn’t going to get involved at Bonza prices. That’s why I hope Rex looks at it.

They have people managing the group, and in my experience they were extremely well organised, and very pleasant to deal with.

They've done these flights regularly. I did them on the 380, and I think the 747 as well. They don't always go to another destination though. Mostly they've simply taken 100% of the seats on the day's normal service.

I doubt that JQ would work. QLink perhaps. I think they need to be operating a smaller aircraft. Economy of scale doesn't exist just because you have 180 seats, so to my mind, that rules out 320s and 737s.

Just reading Matt’s article, and it will be interesting to see if there’s any movement from QF, or perhaps Rex, with a couple of the Bonza routes. I know that the Albury to Gold/Sunshine coast was locally popular. I even looked at using it (but their app put me right off). Sadly, I don’t hold...

Ah, not really. The quote from ex glorious leader was the he didn’t want the QF pilots to contaminate those from JQ.

Make yourself a YPTA, then you’ll be pretty safe from anything.

There are procedures that introduce risk, and opposite direction operations is certainly one of them. Invariably it’s for local noise reasons, not a valid aviation reason. Very much the same as pushing aircraft towards shorter runways, or downwind ops, for noise reasons. They (whomever they are)...

The magic word is "require", not request. Opposite direction ops are pretty rare. The only other place I've ever seen it was LA, though I don't recall the conditions at the time. Not so much now, but when if first appeared, the TCAS used to become quite upset (and like a wife, you cannot ignore...

Doesn’t this amount to trading whilst insolvent?

Is the fact that she’s female even slightly relevant? Hopefully she’s a competent, worthwhile, leader, unlike so many others.

Presumably before you can repossess something, you’d have to be in the situation of not being paid for the lease. And presumably for quite some time.

Why? I'd be doing the same given the reputation of the Max, and the fact that QF doesn't have any. Well, take it for what it's worth, but they're certainly avoiding the good bits... It was also recommended that they go on to the 767s (back in the GoDs), but nyet to that too. And it was the...
