    AA 787-9 or QF A380

    No brainer for me, of the few times I've flown on AA (points Y and J), only ever had terrible service, food and attitude. Even a possible better hard product wouldn't make up for the bad experiences.

    15% is an insanely excessive (over)reaction; buybacks don't magically create $, it's just a company allocating capital which the company already has. I suppose it does say that the directors think that it has excessive capital which it can't get a better ROE on (or if I'm cynical that the CEO...

    NOR closed the championship gap by 6 points. Less than say a 2nd PIA/1st NOR placings so not a bad outcome for PIA imo. Of course it would have been nicer to have seen PIA race up from the back

    It's not feasible to pipe more qld gas to Vic (as is at capacity) to cope with Victoria's dwindling supply. And it's just silly wasting energy and the cost to chill gas to minus 160C and shipping to Vic when Vic (and nsw) already has abundant gas underground. Vic old gas fields are depleting...

    Not sure how much weight to put on displayed market depth. I think that many big buyers/sellers don't put in an order @ $.. as it creates a blocking (up or down) price so anyone who wants to trade would then put in a price below/above. So we don't know the big intentions. They buy/sell any...

    Well done. I read the Takeovers Panel decision https://takeovers.gov.au/sites/takeovers.gov.au/files/2025-02/2025-ATP-1.pdf Very disturbing, and insisted on making a "determination of unacceptable circumstances". But what now, is the board going to work for the benefit of all shareholders fair...

    Non-reclining J seat: what compo should I ask for?

    You didn't buy a J, you bought a "bundle of rights", as determined by qf apparently, so insist on it.
