First Qantas A220 revealed

Sitting next to a paxing A220 captain on flight up to Sydney.

Loves to fly the bird, but a few idiosyncrasies.

It doesn’t like to slow down. Doesn’t lose much energy on descent . coughpit electronics and instrumentation a bit of a nightmare. Always having to reboot things.

Couple of other things, but he’s very proud of the aircraft ( not so much the rest of the fleet 😂)

X4E went in for an engine change, unreliable aircraft coupled with HR issues is not the recipe for success QF we’re hoping for.
