Maybe if it was pilot suicide he didn't want to leave the shame for his family, and potentially there is a payout of sorts also(no idea just speculating), shrouding the disappearance in mystery would perhaps safe face for his familly?

Maybe ransom for the passengers wasn't the aim..... Maybe they just wanted the plane, my thoughts skip ahead to what they want with the plane and when it may pop up again. I know its all speculation, sorry, but I am trying to make sense of something that makes no sense.

Ohhhhhhh. So for the totally uneducated in these things, could you spell that scenario out, I assume the passengers wouldn't survive but whoever is flying has an independent air supply??

This is an unprecedented event. At first I, along with everyone else it seems, just couldn't understand why they couldn't find the plane, they must be useless. Of course now it seems they were never going to find the plane when they "should" have. What a mystery. What a tragedy.

I just downloaded and signed in for myself and earned a few points and signed out and signed in Mrpippy as well, hopong we will both get the bonus for installing and using, and now I am going to sign in for our daughter who doesnt earn points very often and leave her there for searches. It will...

Recently Gold, Mrpippy's boarding pass when we checked in at Singapore last night showed Silver. I pointed it out at checkin and after a few minutes of button pressing a new boarding pass was issued. He needed it to show gold for lounge access as his new gold card arrived 2 days after we left...

We have been chasing OOL double SC's as well. Qantas had promised to push them through as we are traveling OS and the DSC's will push mr pippy to gold, but after promising they rang back and said sorry have to wait 6 weeks. Well it's 6weeks tomorrow and still nothing, we travel OS in 2 weeks, so...

I havent been to KL either and your question got me wondering what I would do. I also think tiredness could set in and you may just want to get home, I guess it depends if you are committed to making the most of the time you have, no point getting six hours into your stop over and wishing...

Sorry should have added that Qantas have assured us that once the DSC's come through it will backdate to give him Gold, just frustrating that he has now missed out on extra miles and lounge access for his recent flights. We have an overseas trip next month and they have said they will credit...

Nope still waiting for DSC's from 26th Jan. Have spoken to QFF as needed them before 31st Jan to click over to Gold. Was told that they could take 6 weeks. Shame Mr Pippy has had 4 more flights since then without Gold benefits and they wouldnt budge on just ticking his status over anyway...

So Mr Pippy was 110 SC's from gold, so with the use of a double status offer we trotted off to the Gold Coast for the Australia Day weekend. He flew on a JASA one way and a YASA the other. His membership year finished 31st Jan. Sounds good doesnt it, a weekend on the sunny Gold Coast and an...

All 5 of us will be in Bali, one of our daughters will be in Europe for several weeks beforehand, so will need to look into how early pre voting opens for her. I think I voted online last time, is that possible or am I imagining that?

We are currently on the 24th floor of an apartment building in Surfers looking straight down Cavil Ave to the Ocean. We are on a status run/weekend getaway. I can tell you that I would not want to be getting on a plane right now. It has defiantly got much worse in the last hour or so. An...

We followed up on a couple of bookings taking ages to post and was assured by Avis the FF number was on the booking and would post eventually, which they did. We have used Avis a few times and it seems they take anywhere from a few days to a month and everything in between. As you have...

Re: Vietnam visa on arrival 2013 Agreed, a very quick process using the embassy, posted on the Monday, returned on Thursday, also using Platinum express post. Dont forget the passport photos as well that need to be included :)

Re: Vietnam visa on arrival 2013 Interesting thread, thanks. We are touring South to North in a few months time and we prepaid for our Visas direct from the Embassy in Sydney prior to the price rise. I knew we could do it cheaper VOA but just didnt want the hassle, although its a personal...

Bad news for you sumthin, good news for MrPippy.

Mr Pippy is doing a double SC trip for gold only a few days before his renewal date end of Jan. If his SC's post into his new year it will be a disaster. :(

Ahhhh so thats the position one has to be in to have their knees crushed, or is that the payback position that makes it easier to jostle the seat in front?:lol:

Thats an ok idea for a 13 year old, but chances are that once he turns 14 or 15 he wont give a bugger about any written contract with his mum.:evil: He is obviously the oldest and she has not really experienced the teenage years yet. Then again she might be lucky and its worth a try. Not sure...
