Ive just had yet another notification of flight time changes – for December /January bookings.
BNE-SYD is now taking 10 minutes longer and BNE-MNL just five minutes. Sometimes it ARR time that changes and sometimes its DEP time. No change to aircraft type etc.
I’m wondering why they are fiddling with the schedule. Perhaps slowing aircraft a little to save fuel? Attempting to get the “on time” % score higher?
I sent an SMS with the same question to my neighbour a QF pilot: his only advice was that there were a lot of schedule changes going on at the moment.
Its no big deal .... perhaps. I’m asking more out of curiosity.
With thanks
Gary
