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.

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

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.

Wed to Fri offer popped up. $130 spend and get 5200 points. As above, WOW is losing thousands of my yearly spend to Coles now. A couple of years back WOW once dominated the points area.

Here comes the next 10,000 offer. 4 weeks, $70 spend. :)

It’s all happening down that way, the new Crowne Plaza up the road must be opening soon.

X2 points X10 points on coffee pods

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.

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.

Double points seem to be the new norm. I got x15 points on ladies and kids clothing at BIGW. Now I thought the algorithm would have figured out I’m a male and perhaps given me a men’s clothing offer. 🤣

Is Hawaii with the XLR an option here? Or do the economics of a widebody start to play out for these longer missions?

Looks like Network won’t get getting Jetstar Asia aircraft and they are retiring JQs oldest owned aircraft to Network whilst JQ taking the whole 3K fleet. Lines up with Network getting the aged equipment historically. VQF and VQM still registered to Jetstar but now painted in QLink colours.

No 4 week offer has triggered yet but got this one 10% off total shop when spend over $100

Looking at bit wonky again. They are about to cut the entire schedule by 25% from November. United boss predicts they will be over by the years end. The losses the are recording are eyewatering. They are a big player with 200 aircraft these days. Will definitely have an impact across the US.

Jetstar could probably move all its international flights over alongside virgin. They really only transfer onto domestic networks anyway would work well.

Spend $120 between this Wednesday and Friday for 5000 points.

Those Dash 8 turnarounds they do are tough. In at 8/9pm then out again at 6/7am. Crew probably only get 5/6 hours sleep. I see Virgin do much longer, ie in late but out the next afternoon, or in during the arvo, and out first thing next morning.
