This is the thing - what kinds of penalties, and against who? The penalty was doled out to the  company, not Mr Alan Joyce or anyone specifically. Banning from directorships would be worthwhile if only it may protect the next company, not really imposing anything on the perpetrator. But then...

What do you call cheese that doesn't belong to you? Nacho cheese.

Sorry, should have been more clear about this. I don't know about being required (nothing, except give way to the right and those on the roundabout, is required), but I think, as was taught to me by my driving instructor ages ago, people  should be always indicating left to exit the roundabout...

WCMO people who don't or incorrectly use indicators while on a roundabout. Those WCMO includes those who fail to indicate left to get off the roundabout, including if you were going straight. Then there are those people who change their mind on which exit to go to while on the roundabout.

What would be a greater disincentive? Force shut down the company for a period of time (a sort of corporate or business prison)? Imprison the entire board? What does the TWU do with $50M? I assume the other $40M goes to employees, or is that punitive (i.e. goes to the government)?

In this episode of Let's Be Pedantic... (yellow) To say "$12 AUD"... AUD means "Australian Dollar" (or Dollars), which reads awkwardly with the $ sign as well. It would be more correct to write AUD 12 or even A$12 (not official, might be confused, but could be understood). (blue) Slash is...

Flexi Economy, particularly the most expensive bucket (called Y), can often be more expensive than Business, unless you're comparing the highest Business bucket against any other Economy bucket. The attractiveness is that if Business is cheaper than Flexi Economy, you might as well purchase...

I dare not make any further jokes on this....

Pure Gene-ious :D

Some Y seats have sockets, but quite a few still don't, or they are shared between people. They're also often placed at rather inconvenient to reach places; I guess I'm speaking more for myself as a fat, rather inflexible person. The supplied USB port is usually 10 W, which is usually only...

This is a fair point. Now with power banks getting a lot more scrutiny on travels, it shouldn't be hard to put this info on the power bank. I know it's a "simple calculation", but still... (this also removes the human factor on the part of any checking officer who may make a mistake doing the...

Note that TR awards are the same as Basic fares, i.e. absolutely no mod cons at all. For SIN/KUL, the 1.5k KF miles would replace as little as SGD 10 of regular cash fare on some days; when the fares are higher, I wonder how many redemptions (let alone Saver) would be left. Still, better than...

So you can buy a ticket, for example, King Island to mainland on Sharp connecting to a Qantas service, all on one ticket. Does that mean Sharp and/or Qantas will protect you on such tickets if you misconnect due to delays? What about checked baggage transfer? (Likely means the most restrictive...

For your sanity, I'd say get a hotel room - Novotel, Holiday Inn, ibis budget, whatever. Not too far, of course. Probably will cost a fair chunk for a few hours sleep, but staying in the terminal is going to feel worse, unless you are a true night owl.

It's for the money, and maybe laziness to ensure compliance with the appropriate Convention. The Vienna Convention on Road Traffic states that the expiration of an IDP can be no more than 3 years after issuance or until the expiration of the license, whichever is earlier. On the other hand, the...

That would be Kowloon/Kowloon West stations. You can get some pretty long walks in some Hong Kong stations between exit and station proper. Some of them have moving walkways, and thankfully most of them have lifts somewhere, so not entirely terrible with luggage (except when people without...

That's kind of the problem. Most USB ports on board planes tend to top out at 10 W (5V, 2A). For most devices these days (especially tablets), that's probably enough to slow down the draining process but not to recharge, unless you go to power saving or turn off the device. You could probably...

I think it's just another cunning way to get more Choice fares booked over Lite fares. I think you would have to be naive to see the baggage charges are anything but profit making, but most of the time the differential is small for the gain in SC. I guess the difference is more pronounced for...
