I would probably be mindful booking anything for 2026 on the 787, changes to schedules with the fleet cycling heavy checks and modifications should be expected, especially if they don’t run on time, or have unexpected issues pop up. Not sure how much buffer they have in the schedule, with the...

I asked this to someone from the commercial team when I was sitting next to them on a Sydney flight (he was asking me for feedback). He said such a platform required significant investment and the company didn’t have the capital for it at the time. That was pre pandemic. I didn’t know how...

I’ve had luck with something similar once. Upgraded but they never took the points, flew in the said cabin. It’s been a few years they have not come knocking yet. I have cancelled two classic rewards last year, they also didn’t apply the penalty. Probably just second rate IT systems at play...

These ecam warnings give out any sounds or chimes?

Would Pilots not get a message about this being open? Seems bizarre. https://amp.9news.com.au/article/ac25c5cf-7f8d-4912-b625-888f05296b62

What inside treatment did the ex Rex jets get before coming back into service? If any?

Looks like some routes are coming off the overnights and onto day flights, ie CNS-CHC, and CNS-PER is another I can see, I recall Jetstar need to overnight Pilots on any red eye, so this will obviously improve productivity.

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...

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.

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...

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

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.

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

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...

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

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.

Danger pushing 36. Surely time is nearly up. Didn’t execute today.

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

My last short hop HKG-MNL changed 4 times within the 6 month window I had the booking.
