    Incorrect panicked instructions to passengers

    I would not go that far. Clearly they made a mistake interpreting what the pilots told them but I would like to know what the pilots said exactly before passing judgement. While not making a mistake is always better, I would rather Cabin crew err on the side of putting on lifejackets than not...

    Virgin and Qantas to ban power bank use

    I didnt say that other jurisdictions don't have regulatory standards regarding electronic equipment. Some of these including the AU regulatory tick is just a general regulatory certificate that (basically) tests for electrical safety, which is not the same as risk of LI-ion battery fires. I dont...

    Was the captain in the aircraft waiting for the copilot to arrive?

    What cheeses me off

    Should have been done as pre-reading. I re-read AMSND on the SQ flight to LHR and picked up some segments that were not portrayed in the play.

    Virgin and Qantas to ban power bank use

    perhaps the power banks will have to be removed from carryons and placed in its own tray for scanning??

    "The co-pilot slept in"

    If a pilot slept in, it suggests to me that the pilot may be in sleep deficit. Not a good look...

    United Airlines argues ‘window seat’ does not mean ‘seat with a window’

    Well, that was going to be tested in court but it didn't get to a court judgement on whether a ticket could legally just be a bundle of rights or whether the consumer laws prevail. In the end, there was a settlement with the ACCC (the $120milion settlement) and Qantas importantly agreed to no...

    United Airlines argues ‘window seat’ does not mean ‘seat with a window’

    I never claimed they did. My post about taking a leaf out of QF playbook was about something completely different to QF labelling or not labelling seats. It was about selling something but calling it something else. I don't know how to make it clearer but I'll try... Qantas tried to use an...

    United Airlines argues ‘window seat’ does not mean ‘seat with a window’

    Next time speak to the call centre and ask them to move your seat assignment to a "window" seat. They understand "window" seats and will gladly sell you a ticket with a "window" seat assignment (Even though they don't charge extra for window seats per se).
