Didn’t they walk away with the government paying out their share? I’d imagine they would be better to cut their losses and walk with whatever they managed to secure. They had been on the board for years, would have been across the financial postion, yet did nothing until the final moment. Hard...

Embarrassing but somewhat normal for QF. They suck at fleet planning.

I believe he is connecting to the RAAF KC30 Washington Express in BNE which explains the suit. The aircraft is parked at International awaiting the QF flight to land.

Certainly some challenges if it’s in a suitcase with a combo lock or something. We seem to be having these battery fire issues about once per month now so I’d expect more movement globally fairly soon from carriers.

Interested to hear from any of our airline friends on here. I assume they have a bag or box something it goes into.

I wonder if we might start needing to look at overhead bin extinguishing devices. Passengers will require skin grafts if they keep too involved. I’ve seen some horrific burns over the years in the media.

It sounds like they are hiring or using a specific team on the ground like Jetstar does. They go around to most gates (especially in Mel) with the scales and EFT machine. I’ve see plenty of years and tantrums over the years with that.

Yes as per airline. Seems like it was on a 12 month trial.

Route pulled due low demand. Will operate next week then paused until 10th Dec-28th Jan a mix between 2-3 weekly.

Having a look this is all I found from the latest report this year. Jetstar Japan share of profits materially benefited from +$22m FX gain on lease liabilities I’m no expert on FX, but it appears GK leases its fleet (orders are not from the QF book) and then re leases onto JQ. I’m not sure...

The profit bit seems to be always connected to foreign exchange or leasing. Jetstar Asia was profitable in a few years for those reasons also. The current FY it was his noted as the Japan business is ‘on track’ to be profitable for this FY. If anything perhaps JAL would take full control...

It would be sad to see the end of the Eskimo and Hawaiian girl, but I guess it sort of inevitable in the longer run. Some new era of management in the future if not current, will no doubt make one brand. The new 787 livery doesn’t do much for me. Love the Eskimo tail.

I wonder how much longer the Japan experiment will last

I’d imagine in the long run the HA branding will eventually go.

I think a lot of people get caught out with those bundles, to the airlines advantage, that is for those people that simply want a seat plus bag only. That is all my old folks want but have been buying the bundles because they are on the first page, they didn’t know you could buy bare fare plus...

I changed my phone number and email a few months back, the first change in probably 20 years. I then changed passwords on all accounts. I started getting some small hints earlier this year, unauthorised transactions appearing on banking, not to mention dozens of spam calls weekly. I feel like...

Surely MEL-SIN is a route on borrowed time on JQ.

Unless someone is moving house via Virgin those allowances are just stupid. Why on earth would someone need 160kg?

A320s now starting to go. VH-VNF has left PER-OOL-APW. Have many memories in this aircraft when we flew Tiger a bit during the first year or two. Photo from 2008 below.

A few months ago I witnessed a what appeared to be 10kg plus bag drop on someone’s head. The said passenger threatened legal action to the staff, he wasn’t happy. Possibly a legal minefield also this topic.
