…….. is no coughking o/h bins in SQ F on 777 - just a PITA having to stow all your gear under ottoman in front
One does not speak unless one knows.Have you experienced it? Not shooting from hip unarmed are you?
Question was have you experienced it not what you know? Big difference*One does not speak unless one knows.
Sorry I thought we were both being tongue-in-cheek, what with the concept of F travel cheesing someone off etc.Question was have you experienced it not what you know? Big difference*
with bonus Star Wars reference on my part in case someone picked it up
Had the no middle J bins recently from BOM to SIN. I thought it'd be a problem. actually was plenty of storage under the parts of my pod. I had a heap of carry on as well with multiple speaker gifts from the conference.Looks like no bins over middle seats in J is also becoming standard on newer aircraft.
Bad call imo, as it means people on the aisle seats will be woken up by people from middle seats opening bins above their heads. It not like having a bin overhead was a huge inconvenience, and with bins above every seat you could have a dedicated one per seat minimising disruption to others.
I often feel that the Star Wars universe is populated by the dumbest people/creatures in creation. The Jedi being not only at least as dumb as the rest but also with an overweening pride and arrogance.Yep but some of those Mandalorians dont seem too smart, why make camp next to a lake full of giant crocodiles in a cave where foundlings routinely get taken by some giant bat thingy.
Lucas was trying to represent the Jedi as having becoming overly proud & arrogant to the point of stupidity by the time the Skywalker saga starts. Or should that really be the Palpatine saga?I often feel that the Star Wars universe is populated by the dumbest people/creatures in creation.

Try listening to National Radio on the (SA 5aa but Melbourne station production). Thankfully they tip people off really quickly but my there are some stupids out there.I often feel that the Star Wars universe is populated by the dumbest people/creatures in creation.

There would need to be a business case due to the increased cost … and it wouldn’t be simple to calculate, because the future return on loyalty is difficult to put down on paper. Given how lucrative the premium seats are, I suspect the simplest way they’d be able to get an indication would be how many people with large points balances have Noped out of the QF loyalty schemes into the schemes of other airlines, a lot of people are talking about it ==> has it happened en masse yet?Who will take over from Uncle Alan when he goes, sooner or later.
Why can't QF tell us now, who will take over, instead of waiting till the last min, when AJ does go.
Not that it would make a deep difference to us, but we would like to know.
Would be nice if the new CEO brings back their (QF's) call centers back to Aust and become call centres again.
We can dream, can't we?
Sorry to bring up the past few posts now, but the mentioning of a cough crowing in the background on a call, as mentioned on this website, heh, hilarious.What cheeses me off... contacting Qantas contact centre. consistently poor service.
In South Aust, they still ask for a name and address, and the SA electoral commission officer, (South Aust, not South Africa), still has to turn a page or few pages.Having to take time out of my Saturday to vote, when in the previous two state elections we could vote online. We are almost 1/4 through the 21st centrury why do we still have to use archaic methods reliant on table cloth sized pieces of paper.
Online voting would mean we could have an immediate result within a minute of polls closing; be more enviornmentally friendly saving all the ballot papers, how to vote paper (why do the greens always hand out the most paper, kinda hypocritical) and cardboard booths and not have to interrupt our weekends. It also means aussies travelling can vote easily too.
Having worked in this space, technology related, surprisingly the paper-based system is the simplest, cheapest and most secure way of doing it. Given you only have elections every 3 or 4 years (depending where you are), the cost of refreshing technology alone is enormous. The Brazilians have about the best approach, but even that would be hard to do in Australia.Having to take time out of my Saturday to vote, when in the previous two state elections we could vote online.

Plus, think of the children - how else would their schools get the funds if it wasn't from the democracy sausages, and cakes.
Weakest argument yet. This marks my 30th year voting and only once (today) has there ever been a sausage sizzle/cake stall and i didnt buy anything. Schools hold fete and charity events all time outside of election days.
