I believe JB747 is referring to the US and Australian Defence Forces who had what they called exchange postings, whereby they sent 40 or so of their selected personnel our way, and we sent the same number to the US. The exchange postings were usually for 3 years, like for like, eg pilots with...

Thanks, but no thanks....

And I still recall the bagging that then Premier Colin Barnet got when he proposed the building of Optus Stadium, where Pink performed. The stadium has been regularly packed out for a wide variety of sport or entertainment since it was built.

Indeed, we had 5 framed prints bought in Taipei which were professionally wrapped by the gallery, bulky but not heavy and they accepted them at the oversized luggage point which was only a few metres from the other checkins. The best part was that on arrival in Perth they were first off with...

Thanks - it’s a Qantaslink flight for $258 with a QF 1600 number

I agree with what you say, however I think what we all know is that QF have many other issues which have been mentioned. They are as important as being on time, but that issue is something they don't have complete control over.

I’d like to know when they will start on the IT side of things….

I’m not sure about the runway numbers there, but we taxied right down to the end of the runway which juts out into bay, and then took off back towards their terminal. As I said, the weather was dodgy and they were trying to get every aircraft in the air in case it got worse, but by the time we...

Monsoon?
