    Possible closure of Canberra, Hobart and Mildura staff bases

    Not common. I don’t believe any airline supports commuting here. One pilot I know that got screwed over with a base change after the pandemic said management basically said resign if you can’t take the new base, commuting was not supported and if you are late for shifts expect consequences, for...

    Possible closure of Canberra, Hobart and Mildura staff bases

    Sucks for those who have families in a regional area that don’t want to be in the city anymore. I guess it’s a good reminder to younger and future generations of crew that a regional base might not be there 5/10/20 years later.

    WSJ: Boeing working on 737 MAX replacement

    Likely a 10-20 year project. Whatever comes next will be put under the microscope more than anything ever seen. It’s been a while since they have designed a clean sheet new narrow body so I’d expect it to take considerable time. Everything they have designed recently has been littered with...

    Ask The Pilot

    JB, I am not sure if you have seen this footage, but in these sort of situations, is there memory items etc? If it gets worse can you take a heading change? Starts around 6.40 mins into the video

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    That would be around 4 aircraft left at Finnair. Certianly seems like a good opportunity for AY to move on from the A330 fleet. I’d imagine QF will continue to dry lease these for as long as they can. They are good mid life aircraft.

    Qantas' New A321XLR

    I recall this route was going A220, I remember reading the schedule update. Obviously got canned.

    Qantas' New A321XLR

    They don’t seem to be getting overly favourable press with this one. Social feed has been littered with the toilet issue, worst plane in the world etc. Vanessa Hudson wasn’t overly happy with the toilet question being asked in one interview lol. This is far from a game changing aircraft that...

    Qantas' New A321XLR

    Staggering that they continue to have blunders in the configuration department. I mean, seriously, what a joke.

    2025 AFL Grand Final

    Looks like VA9002 will take the team back tomorrow at 1330 Virgin’s AFL contract ends this year so will be interesting to see if they re negotiate or if goes to QF who also has sports contracts ending this year.

    Ask The Pilot

    Why do ATC refer to Dash 8s as ‘Delta’ Ie- ‘follow the Dash 8 Delta’

    Qantas' New A321XLR

    I’m sure they can install another one when it goes in for its next cabin re fresh in 25 years time

    Qantas' New A321XLR

    I really don’t get all the fuss. It’s no Delta or JetBlue A321. It’s built and designed with management bonuses in mind.

    Virgin change/cancellation fee increase to $109

    Needs to be some form of regulation on these fees. Retailers can’t get away with such fees, banks have been put under the microscope recently. Politicians have been weak with airlines for as long as I have been alive.

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    VH-VUJ has apparently now ceased ops and will be flown out later this week to the US. Not sure when the A320s finish up.
