I've had no specific iOS 8 issues, but my wife (iphone 5) says that FB now keeps locking up. Mind you, today I tried to load a single music video to my daughters ipad, using my wife's desktop PC. -can't have two "profiles" on the same itunes. -you can have two music libraries, but you cant sync...

Just lately, we have been getting the "spend over $200 for 1000 bonus points". Which we jump at naturally. Last shop was $206 (online) Problem was, there standard mince was out of stock (what!). That brought the total down to UNDER $200 and hence, no bonus points. Grrrrr. However, dropped a...

What with the latest QF financial report, there is talk of replacing SYD-DFW with an A380. Does the 747 have similar range? And do they not fly the 747 at a lower capacity due to the length of the route?

I was referring to car steering. But it does answer the question about the '380 brakes. I would have assumed the tiller was FBW.

WTH was he doing with it? Almost looked deliberate...

You remove their head first? That's crazy talk! So if your bag come out minus wrap because of an inspection then what?

Here's an interesting concept. As JB like to call the Airbus "the electric jets", are the brake pedals big switches or are they still "old fashioned" hydraulic (assisted naturally). The reason I ask is that cars are getting more electric. Our latest horse has electric park brake (which is...

Well, so far there are a few possibilities: Aircraft had some sort of catastrophic failure but somehow got flown far off course then crashed. or, Aircraft was "stolen" by either deranged pilot or pilots, flown to Kerplankistan, to perhaps be used as a WMD. How? My theory is plane is fitted...

So, "it is not clear how much fuel the plane was carrying"? I thought that would be a no-brainer. Someone had to load it. Check the pilot's CC

Question for Markis (or other suitable knowledgeable peeps). Given the last known location, what is the radar coverage? The aircraft had to go somewhere, if it started losing altitude rapidly, would radar not pick this up? If the transponder were disabled, would the aircraft be trackable by...

Do the big commercials or the the Air Force jets you flew ever use the polymer coatings so the water sheds off? It's great stuff above about 45kts.

The other night I was caught on the YouTube cycle, and came across the QF32 incident (a documentary). Which brought a question to my mind; The A380 was losing fuel from the wing, naturally. How much fuel, weight wise, is carried in each wing, and how much asymmetrical fuel load could the...

Card churning can affect your credit rating. All those applications show up on a Credit Reference.

I tried to change one of our AA sectors last month. Earlier flight same day, DFW-MSY. The change fee was higher (like 2x higher) than the original fare. Would have been cheaper to do a no-show and just buy new tix. We just waited the 2 hours.

Yes, the public transport in SF is great. You can get a weekly/3 day ticket too that covers cable cars/street cars/ buses and train (we used all except the train, there was no real need as there is so much road transport)

We were flying back from BKK in July, and it was about an hour after dawn. The cabin was dark, blinds drawn, most PAX sleeping. Until one of the two <redacted> on the East side of the cabin pulled the blind up to look out at what could only have been the ocean. It was like someone had set of a...

The Cable Car Museum is worth a look. Book Alcatraz NOW . They open 3 month in advance. You will not get walk up tickets. The Rainforest Cafe near the Wax Museum (Fishermans Wharf area) is an interesting experience.

One only: QF LAX-SYD Cattle class. And it sucked. The '47 seemed much quieter (mind you in Y+ it probably was). Every so often it sounded like the engines would spool up a bit and be louder, then drop back off a few minutes later. Might have been control surface air disruption during course...

Welcome. Even with no CC you could always use the new Qantas cash to earn some points with your normal spending. While we bragging about rosters, mine is currently 2/7 (that's 2 on, 7 off) :)

Re: Qf 11 We are on QF7 on December 17. 3 booked seats in y+ with a points upgrade to J requested. Flightstats states 18 seats available. Can someone confirm this with EF? if 18 seats are indeed empty an upgrade might happen. many thanks
