Can't think of a time that a salad is ever wintery! I wonder what the hot option was that @cosi 's daughter missed out on. It probably wasn't as wholesome as the salad, which does look decent, though I wonder if that's rice at the base there, because that looks a bit suss. I mean, the hot meal...

Mystery white stuff inside might be either cheese or bechamel, maybe? I should have mentioned in my QF1264 flight just above - as you can see there was no Koko Black chocolate bar but a sticky date cake instead. However, coming up from Y one of the FAs was handing out Lindt balls to those who...

How insufficient were they to not pass probation? That's 2 years of wasted person-hours... quite a lot of time to be unlucky or get it all wrong!

I've just started a new job after about six months off. Probably only really ramped up the applications in earnest within the previous six weeks, to be honest. You are incredibly generous (whether that is a personal trait / gesture or one mandated by your company / section of your company)...

If you know Mandarin...

That is ketupat, or compressed rice cakes, which is a typical accompaniment with satay (or rather, becoming less typical now). It's typically eaten like you would rice with the satay, or just exclusively with the satay sauce (like chip and dip). When sold, they are usually provided in cubed or...

Either that or it's a BK franchise in the USA that has broken free from the system and trying to skirt around reusing assets. Clearly the management have their heads screwed on................. what could go wrong......

Not sure what is more of a CO... a stain obviously showing on a shirt or a feint stein that you can't get out that only you or a super-sharp-eyes can see (and likely can't be seen at all from over 2 m away)...

WCMO the propensity for me to spill food on my clothes increases with how good a shirt I am wearing.

QF1264 (Qantaslink) MEL-BNE dep 2200 a/c 222 The last flight out of MEL that night, arriving at an ungodly hour in BNE (airport staff there probably annoyed that we're keeping them from going home). So was rather fascinated what would be the choices on a flight like this. I had the salad of...

Visited the ADL J Lounge for the first time today since the refurbished lounge opened last weekish. I like the space. It definitely feels a lot more welcoming and comforting compared to the old lounge (then again, when the old lounge opened, we kinda said the same thing). The greater inclusion...

QF690 ADL-MEL dep 1615 a/c 738 Za'atar spiced beef gozleme, served with rocket and parmesan garnish salad. Accompaniments of a bread roll and Koko Black macadamia and wattleseed chocolate bar. Other option was a Ploughman's platter. The gozleme was stuffed with spiced minced beef, spinach and...

QF1937 BNE-ADL op Alliance dep 1630 a/c E90 Balinese chicken curry with snake beans and rice. Actually, I'm not sure if they are very small snake beans or garlic shoots. Other option was a falafel and hummus salad. I was in 3F and both options were still available when I was served...

Poor diddums. He'll probably still be able to make a name of himself as head of some other company. Who wants to be in the airline game anyway. I suggested that fines should be much, much more in order to actually dent and impact the company. This could even extend to jailing of executives...

The "real" F is on the A380 or on the B777 (former Cathay Pacific aircraft). When we boarded the A380, since F is upstairs, our boarding call was exclusive and we bypassed the waiting area and straight to the bridge, and only Business passengers followed after us when they were called from the...

An interesting development. If a flight between Thailand and Europe is affected, I guess that means compensation or provisions may apply within both jurisdictions. If airlines fail to provide according to the regulations (or there is a dispute in the decision to do so), would one file a legal...

QF1995 GLT-BNE op Alliance dep 1855 a/c E90 Braised lamb, roast vegetables and potato mash. This was the only option available, i.e. no other main was available for all passengers. I don't know if this is because (since this flight would be double catered ex-BNE) the GLT-bound pax ate all the...

QF1920 BNE-GLT op Alliance dep 0555 a/c E90 Light snack of apple and cinnamon muffin cake, made by our QantasLink friends, Dreamtime Tuka. I pocketed the cake and Coke, opting to nap on the flight thanks to my early morning start. Ate the cake later for morning tea. Quite moist and tasty cake...

NZ should be able to have some ability to weigh into this, or get someone to throw weight into this. I'm sure that if AKL want to force this on them, NZ can tell them to go to hell and then some. Either that or AKL will extract an exorbitance out of NZ to allow them their own exclusive area...

We have a situation where technology becomes so prevalent that this possibility is not really entertained in advance of it happening. Access to Internet is a very real example of this. We are so used to having access to the Internet at almost all times that personal and professional lives run...
