Is it run by the cult pilot guy from Grease? Srsly though ta for heads-up. :)

I’m only 6’1”, and without knowing the trick of the secret button to fold the aisle-side armrest I wasn’t able to wriggle out of a Reclined Upon Qantaslink 717 seat without my knees rubbing the seat in front. There just wasn’t enough room, reclining the seat in front made it push pretty hard...

Someone told me that some seats have an armrest that collapses or folds? Haven’t seen that myself, but it might help with sliding out into the aisle when trapped behind a Recliner.

I’ve always assumed that was just the call-centre software screwing-up, or maybe the call-centre people playing games of some sort trying to pump their stats up.

There are so many calls that I doubt they’re all called Tom, but they do seem to be real people. I answered & spoke to one of the Toms, thinking it was something different, and if it’s a bot it’s very very convincing in conversation. I suspect that to get off that list you just have to not...

A comment just for @p--and--t ... maybe they just took the tool out which was floating 'round in the engine? :p

Given it'd just taken off & I presume it's fuel tanks were pretty close to full (as I assume it was heading to the Middle East which is a decent distance) ... it can't be good having that much avgas dumped? I mean obviously better than a giant full 'plane consumed by a fireball ploughing into a...

I'd paid almost zero attention to YouTube prior to COVID, only to search-out content others had recommended to me, or to find specific information (eg. I'd bought a used car for my sister, wanted to give it an oil-change before handing it over, everything under the engine was totally covered by...

There’s a travel/flight vlog I watch semi-regularly by the name of Flying High. Quite long eps, they tend to last for about 1.5hrs. I don’t watch that often as all the eps seem the same as each other.

Did they light up the fuel they dumped, like an F-111?

It's something many of us discovered about South Australia for the first time, in my case for the first time in 50+ years, in this very thread! :)

It’s leg-over, so it’s Leg-oh!

Yes, what Katie said! First In First Out and Last In First Out were from high school maths in the 80's before Fly In Fly Out existed, I just assumed most people have had queueing-theory inflicted upon them in high school! :)

… FIFO or LIFO? /QueueingTheoryPun

It's not, but that doesn't stop "them" putting short-haul aircraft/cabins on those routes ... :(

Do airlines normally have a divider for short-haul "business" these days (which looks like it just means priority boarding and an unused middle seat and maybe slightly less bad catering)?

Lucky she didn’t show any sign of being either of those, just rude & entitled. A Recliner, if you’ll pardon the use of that extreme expletive. It was the angry balding beetroot-faced Bali-singlet-wearing partner who was doing the weird behaviour, mind you, not the … Recliner.

Wow, I call her a Recliner, one of the worst things you can call a person … and the thing which you pick-up on is her being called a bint?! :D :D :D

It wasn’t weird … just bogan angry-man stuff. Qantaslink 717’s didn’t have the bestest pitch, but this bint had to recline her seat into my face on the mid-afternoon HBA-SYD flight. This made it basically impossible for me to get out of the seat without jostling hers … now unfortunately we’d...

Because I'm neither!
