    QF B737 Replacement Competition

    And the winner is Airbus (which was my initial guess) - https://www.executivetraveller.com/news/qantas-airbus-a320neo-a321xlr-a220-boeing-737-max-order Without knowing any of the financials, I think that the A320 family is a better aircraft so long as QF don't reduce pitch. So if QF don't...

    Tripped over this video on the weekend. Did you ever have to do this training? It looks fun.

    Top Three Holiday Photos

    Well its been almost two years since I stepped foot onto a plane. So my unimpressive photos are my top three photos mainly because it was so exciting to be back in the air flying to good old Kangaroo Island.

    Qantas extends status extensions until end June 2023 (previously December 2022)

    I have booked ADL-KGC-ADL specifically to renew status. Had to book two one way flights due to MCT. Had to change dates due to QF cancelling flights and the operator even realised it was a status run and had no problems with what I was doing.

    Ask The Pilot

    Saw this image - Really beautiful photo but I wanted to know where the iPad charger was plugged into the coughpit? Do you have USB ports? I can't imagine that you have a cigarette lighter up there :)

    QF B737 Replacement Competition

    My current guess is that since QF have 100+ A320 family aircraft on order, it would make sense for QF to simply order some more and keep the commonality across QF & JQ. I do realised that there would be lots of expensive retraining to do.

    Qantas extends status extensions until end June 2023 (previously December 2022)

    My status expires 30/09/2021. Booked a status run for this from Adelaide to KI return on SAT 23/10. QF just rescheduled me to FRI 22/10 which stuffs me up. Will reschedule for a weekend in November in order to complete my status run.

    Reminder - QF Business Rewards

    I do receive regular emails from QBR and have a few dated 17/08/2021 onwards. Definately subscribed to them. Unfortunately I didn't have any emails prior to 17/08/2021.

    Which places changed your mind about them after visiting?

    Slightly off topic Cruising - The Mrs wanted to do it and I didn't. Thought it would be a boring experience. Totally wrong. Did lots of interesting excursions, some time at the casino, participated in the on-board activities and found it very relaxing as I didn't have to think/worry about meals...

    Reminder - QF Business Rewards

    Dear Admin Always happy to assist. Looking through my email trash I couldn't find any QF Business emails prior to 01/08/2021 (when my points expired). Sorry I couldn't be of any assistance. I did learn that unlike personal accounts, transfer of points out from QF Business accounts does...

    Book a flight and Extend Current status to 2022

    I just booked this Status Run to take advantage of the status extension. Booked Adelaide - Kangaroo Island return (same day) for $160. Used my COVID vaccination $20 credit and hence only paid $140. Looking forward to getting on a plane again after so long. Last flight was probably Dec 2019...

    Reminder - QF Business Rewards

    Hi Folks This is my PSA about QF Business Rewards - your points expire after 18mths of inactivity. I only found this out/reminded myself when I logged into my account and noticed 270,000 odd points had been zero-ed out on 01/08/2021. I basically forgot about QF Business Rewards since I haven't...

    Vaccine Rollout in Australia - personal accounts.

    A couple of friends have experienced head aches and slight fever after Pfizer No.2. Another GP friend of mine did the Panadol regimen and was fine. Whilst I'm not saying that the Panadol regimen is the magic cure, I felt that there was no downside to it so I decided that it was something that...

    Vaccine Rollout in Australia - personal accounts.

    Following on from my Pfizer No.1 shot, I had my Pfizer No.2 shot on Tuesday 08/06. On Tuesday 08/06 I woke up at 8am and took 2x Panadol and then at 10am I had my Pfizer No.2 shot. I then took Panadol at 12n and four hourly after that until I went to bed when I took my last set of Panadol. Woke...
