    Ask The Pilot

    Would the rostering people change the way they structure the rosters in response to pilot feedback or response to pilots looking to move to Sydney? Or is it more of a case of suck it up and the pilots down the pecking order will get the less desirable base in Melbourne?

    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility

    Might be worth considering a Family Trust structure for any future investments. The benefits are all assets are held inside the trust with the income then being distributed to either yourself or wife depending on the most tax effective method. Whilst this may not help at the moment with the...

    Virgin Australia Delays/Cancellations

    Virgin Australia is one of the main sponsors for the V8 Supercars. As part of that, this aircraft did two low level slow speed passes over pit straight before the race & one low level high speed pass over pitt straight. It was all on the TV coverage & they had the captain of the flight speaking...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    OQB appears to have been on track to landing and then gone around for one reason or another. But i think what you are after is that OQB has been turned around to form QF 2 back to Sydney. I think usually the same plane will do the entire flight from Melbourne to London. I'm guessing that...

    QF in Manila

    I was there about a year ago and had to transfer from T3 to T1 onto the Qantas flight.

Our inbound flight was delayed and got to the gate about an hour late. Went...

    Ask The Pilot

    Hi JB & others, Thanks for the time spent answering questions here. I've spent the last month or so enthusiastically reading the whole thing. I've just seen that today Qantas sent a 5th engine on their 747 over to Johannesburg. Is there any special training for the pilots for doing this or...
