Free first class tickets, in unlimited number, on demand, for all flights.

And that's exactly what I would have expected to happen too.

It will happen, in the same time frame that all the passengers are also replaced by AI.

Sadly they will still be unreadable gibberish.

I fill Alan Joyce’s details, for any of these. I hear he’s hard up, and needs the help they offer.

Won’t happen. The 767 had much more of a claim to preservation, and they just disappeared, and have been forgotten by almost everyone.

In larger aircraft, the holding line will be below the bottom of the windscreen, and I suspect it comes back to not being happy about that. But, as I said, it’s easy to see the marking out of a side window, or a camera. It’s not at all safe though, as it often puts the tail of the aircraft over...

I did eventually follow up about the lack of condition clearances at Melbourne, via our Fleet Manager. It was causing some quite considerable take off delays, as gaps that we could easily have fitted in were seemingly being wasted. I don't have the actual email any more (again, from the FM when...

If you don't mind, I'll reply on the pilot thread.

The SO would defiinitely be doing the external preflight, if encounters with snakes were common.

No, only one, on the tarmac at Perth.

It's a few years now, but if I haven't lost all of the cells, the rest of the world uses conditional clearances. Sydney did. But Melbourne didn't. And in the 380 it meant a lot of lost take off opportunities, especially when waiting to line up on 16, with ATC waiting for a bloke to get to J.

So, does that make it an ATC error. Or an ATC error abetting a Blackhawk pilot error. Or were they really all poor sods, who were set up by a system that was never really designed, but just brought itself into being. TBH, no matter how I look at this, it just falls into the category of “sooner...

Common enough. As long as they're a few hours apart, they'll be able to use the same callsign. If not, then the delayed aircraft will be assigned a 'delta' suffix.

It's certainly an issue that has to be resolved. The military do accept operations with reduced safety, as a matter of course. But, their standards should never end up being applied to civilian aircraft. The CRJ, for whatever reason, and contrary to what we might expect, was not seen. To be...

It was, but it also had lateral movement at the time, which makes it no threat, whilst the other aircraft on finals had a constant bearing. I don't think that there's much doubt that they never locked on to the dangerous aircraft. From what I understand about flying with goggles, you have to be...

Who listens to the radio? I rarely want to hear what is said on youtube.... Anyway, it's about what could be seen, not heard.

This is a simulation, but I suspect it’s extremely close to reality.

Sounds like the RAAF pilots' course. It averaged 50% failure rate. And then a few more would bite the dust on the operational conversions. At one point QF's 767 command training had something in the order of 70% missing out, though that wasn't the norm. My father had a PhD. He was generally...

Presumably that will ultimately result in others reducing their number of flights/seats by an equivalent amount. And for the sake of openness, it would be interesting to know if anyone associated with this gets any form of free flights (or anything else). As best I can tell none of these...
