Ready for Take-Off (TV show)

[OATEK]

I have no idea about the laws or anything so done shoot me. But perhaps the children didnt qualify. They had different last names so perhaps werent British (if the episode said they were i dont remember since it was a while ago). Maybe she was fine and they or one of them were not. As Australian's can we just go live and work in the UK permanently or do we need to apply?

The right of abode will be noted in a British passport. This quote is taken from their "Am I a citizen" website:

"Right of abode means you have the right to live and work in the UK without any immigration restrictions.
This information should be shown in your passport."

As I understand it, holding a UK passport, may not confer the right to work - only to come and go as you please. And the rules depend heavily on whether you were born before 1st Jan 1983.

And as said further up, the children of a British passport holder will not automatically have a right of abode. My daughters had to apply for ancestry visas, as their mother holds a British passport but was born outside the UK. Because my wife was born before 1/1/83, and her father had right of abode, then she is automatically a citizen. However, our daughters would not have had the opportunities to work beyond the normal 2 year reciprocal arrangements had they not applied for ancestry visa's first, had an established UK bank account, and applied for and received a national Insurance number. They were then able to gain a normal full time job.

Once having completed their 6 year apprenticeship on the ancestry visa, they would then receive the right of abode, no longer need the ancestry visa, and would have the ability to apply for citizenship and ultimately obtain a passport - which one did.

All British citizens have the right of abode in the UK. The issue is whether you are a british citizen or not (as opposed to a British national or British subject). The UK issues a few different types of passport, including those for British Nationals overseas (BNO) like many have in Hong Kong. Holding one of those many not have right of abode, but it would probably be unlikely an Australian would have one of those at this stage.

Extract from https://www.gov.uk/british-passport-eligibility

Types of British nationality

You can apply for a British passport if you’re a:

British citizen
British overseas territories citizen
British overseas citizen
British subject
British national (overseas)
British protected person​

You can live and work in the UK free of any immigration controls if you’re a British citizen but if you hold a British passport under the other categories of British nationality you’re still subject to immigration controls - you don’t have the automatic right to live or work in the UK.

I'm enjoying the current series. Overall I think they've done a better job this season than last. There also seems to be fewer factual errors and shots of the wrong aircraft, etc.

Anyone know when the next episodes will be airing ?

Ughhh...I know this is an avgeek vs editing thing, but they've just shown a whole segment about LAX and how just as the QF94 was ready to board they discovered an issue with a harness for a disabled pax. The Duty Manager was initially shown walking through an A380 cabin inspecting the poor cleaning etc. In the next shot, one of the the ground crew is attempting to repair the harness on a B744, all the time referencing "the QF94 to Melbourne".

Wylie the guide dog was very keen to get on the flight and start a few doggie treats. I have never seen a dog on a flight. Do they pay extra for the dog to take the seat space?

 

[PLANT]

Shows gone to the dogs!

I dont believe they do...

Not a bad episode this week, although the continuing shots of baggage being ferried around without cover in the rain is annoying Why can't QF invest in covered wagons and loading belts?

Probably because cost v benefit - still an opportunity for things to get wet, and covers would impede efficiency and have a tendency to get broken.
General lack of rain in Oz

If you want to protect your luggage invest in a hard sided case or fly containerised aircraft (eg Jetstar)

AirFiji at checkin advise you that it rains in Fiji and they dont have covered luggage and they recommend plastic wrapping just in case a tropical rain hits.

Never been advised this (at checkin or in writing on any paperwork) by AirFiji.

Where were you advised this?

It's decent advice, but I wouldn't suggest it was given out frequently....

It seems that ep may have been the last in the series that I can tell.. pretty short if only 5???!

Yes that was the final show for the series. Don't know if it will be back.

 

[Himeno]

Just been watching on the 9 website after being overseas for most of the run. Had been expecting 8 eps, disappointed to see there was only 5.

 

[Sdtravel]

They were at least longer than least season though.
Last season was 30 min (23 without adds). This is one is 1 hour (43 without adds)

But as always i would have liked to see more. Loving this show. RED ROO if you are around reading this. Keep those camera's rolling.
