Think it's more in the loss of chance space than a quantifiable breach.

One Foxtrot always reliable, like the bulkhead without the FAs sitting on top of you. Two Alpha and Foxtrot feel a bit cramped if the flight's full (maybe that's just me).

Bane of my flying experience, having to do this- regardless of class. Usually have to (and prefer to in most instances) travel with carry-on only. When in Y, this ordinarily means doing my utmost to board first, or close to it. I usually aim for an exit window on 734s/Hs, forcing me to put one...

Re: Capital connect services Ex CBR DJ just need more floor space. It's that simple, they know that, and I'm sure they'll move in that direction when they're in a position to. Having said that, even their redeveloped MEL lounge is regularly a little more intimate than you'd expect it to be...

Re: Capital connect services Ex CBR Live2air can be pretty useful at times- getting it for free on early flights or around the evening peak is gold in my line of work. Not missing the footy can be a good thing as well.....if my team were any good.

Re: Capital connect services Ex CBR Verily not the whole market, but a fairly large chunk of it wrt to neighbouring east coast caps. I like to drive MEL-CBR-MEL every month or two (though this may counter my WP1 aims in the long run); I consider that a viable option, as do a number of my...

Re: Capital connect services Ex CBR We'll have to agree to disagree- but DJ's lack of focus on a particular segment of the market, whilst trying to chase J pax in the abstract, can't help but look confused. E190s at both ends of the day is probably their best bet to lock in a (admittedly...

Not sure what "maybe" is doing in there. It's exactly what they're saying. About 80% of my domestic flying (bulk of SC earn) is in fully flex Y fares that are usually less than $50 below the cost of a J fare. Hook a brother up, QF.

Re: Capital connect services Ex CBR Ejets are a great platform. On the fuel burn, you're entirely right of course. You're definitely right about DJ being unable to charge a premium (though I suspect this is more about getting away with charging for a superior product as opposed to charging to...

Re: Capital connect services Ex CBR ZOMG! You seem to have stumbled across my point! They've gotten to a place where they have a consistent ERJ product out of SYD, with a bit of a mishmash out of MEL (QF are a more reliable option now for CLs/staff/bureaucrats with the move away from the...

Fair cop at SIN, same problems apply in the SQ F lounge as at FCL/J.

Re: Capital connect services Ex CBR DJ clearly pay scant attention to the golden triangle market. If you don't fly turboprops, they will come- golden rule of non BFOD AUSGOV fares MEL-CBR CBR-MEL SYD-CBR CBR-SYD.

What can I say- I'm all about anytime access to emails from QF :cool:

Am usually loathe to quote Crikey but Sandilands (below) is a little less inclined to drink the kool aid on the only-18-out-of-100-Australians/your-flag-carrier-needs-you line. It's flawed reasoning in the extreme. It pitches known quantity, and product consistency, against greatly increased...

All about making people feel valued... Hello medhead As one of our most valued customers, I want to share with you our commitment to building a stronger Qantas. A Qantas that will be better for you. Since 1920, Qantas has represented the best of what air travel can be. A pioneer that...

As most of the coverage today has demonstrated, there are pitfalls in assuming that those who cover news/caff or business news in the abstract will have anything other than superficial grasp of what is a very nuanced business. It's not Leigh Sales' fault if Leigh Sales is the one that ponies up...

AJ on 7.30 tonight.

This from the @QantasAirways twitter account was a particular highlight- We are placing an order for 32 new A320s & 78 of the exciting next-generation A320neos (most sought-after in world) #anewspirit Never mind that they're most sought-after in the absence of an extant direct competitor....

Slides on Capex for QF int wrt a/c acquisitions covers this, as do PDF MRs that go with the announcement.

My bad. Misread. But I'm willing to take that bet on sleeping through an emergency...
