Exactly - no point having the laws if the regulator is too lazy/incompetent to enforce them, may as well not have the laws at all, sack all the people working in the regulator and use the money elsewhere. If we are going to have no corporate law enforcement may as well not spend the money on ASIC.

I love how the Deloitte website requires people to create a new account login and collect more personal info to make a claim. That's just to get into the claims process, and then presumably, they would collect credit card or bank account information to pay the refund. The dataset looks like a...

This would have been something that the ABC's The Checkout would have been all over, such a pity that silly contractural issues stopped production of the show. I hope the OP takes this all the way thru to AFCA and make an example out of 1Cover for the rest of the industry.

While I agree with everything you have said I think that aside from all the sophistry of Rohrlach, the VA yield managers would say they much prefer that people paid $1200 for a last-minute Y seat SYD-MEL, rather than someone who booked a cheap J fare for SYD-MEL for say $500 12 months out from...

It might be that the JQ/3K services DRW-SIN route might have been OK to marginal but maybe the move of terminals in SIN pushed it over the edge? Also Covid. Agree that the new QF DRW-SIN service only makes sense for DRW and maybe ASP based passengers, for people based more in SIN then for most...

I think there is a deep cultural problem at Red Bull and the car being slow and the driver turnover are symptoms of that, along with the backgrounding of the media about the unproven allegations around Horner, the departure of Newey all point to Helmut Marko as being the problem that has...

Certainly seems like they weren't necessarily thinking ahead from a communication or a marketing opportunity though. If this was intended to be an awesome marketing opportunity any normal loyalty scheme would have done the calculation and the maths and announced to people how close they were to...

And on that QF64 there will undoubtedly be connecting passengers going elsewhere from SYD on Qantas who will have an unplanned stopover in SYD on that night thanks to the curfew, we may see where those pax end up in threads here in the next few days.

Yes in my case it was a "go my own way" situation as I arrived into SYD past 1am at T3 domestic and QF had already rebooked me onto another flight the next morning, so I just found the closest available room which was in the $400 last-minute price range with many displaced passengers...

I think QF has quietly waved the white flag on that $200 or $250 per night limit, that amount of money will get you nothing in SYD for example, and especially if there is an A380 load of passengers or indeed some other weather effects that causes many missed connections and a lack of hotel...

The maths must be that taking a A333 out of service for 14 days is taking 28J and 269Y seats out of the network for 14 days. Now assuming they are mostly used for international medium haul to Aisa and very rough approximation of 2.1 flying sectors per day of utilization that would be approx 823...

Symptomatic of an airline that is more focused on shrinking to irrelevance, spin/PR and becoming a big data/bank/insurance company than an actual airline flying people around. Taking a A333 out of service for 2 weeks typifies this thinking. I'm sure that if Qantas management got what they wanted...

Slow clap for network 10 the crucial point of the race being hidden with advertizing.

I hate street circuits with fresh paint, may as well spray cooking oil at random parts of the track.

And they wonder why travel writers have no job security: Judging by the numerous comments to this article from the readers, not too many people gullible enough to swallow that kind of PR/spin/fluff anymore, so really makes me wonder how sustainable the entire travel journalism...

Maybe it would be parts availability or even complete engine inventory? As I understand it engines (or their components) run out of hours and need to be replaced/serviced/overhauled as part of a planned maintenance thing that would not be a surprise, but there would be the additional complexity...

Its such a predictable path: Bean counters -> lowest common denominator -> no compelling consumer selling point -> failure of business

Yep I had success for the first time a few days ago, but it was pretty special circumstances being a BNE-ADL flight on Thurs, my minimum bid was rejected outright, but then amended and accepted a day later because obviously they wanted to free up as many Y seats on what VA thought might be the...

It was reported in the Business section of The Australian that he was indeed among those keen to eliminate J class from VA aircraft entirely and I would expect he might have been part of the decision-making team about the DRW and CNS lounges. Spent some time in management at Southwest Airlines...

Yeah it is so slow compared to the previous Stocard app. Slow to open, and slow to pull up the selected loyalty card barcode.
