Wonder what the deal is with that Flair aircraft. Still Canadian registered and they have moved all the concrete blocks away from it now, it’s obviously not part of the repossessed group being on lease to Flair. I note the other Flonza aircraft in Canada has now had all its markings removed. I...

I don’t believe Flight Centre ticket instantly. Always a delay I’ve noticed before getting the airline details.

On another note, it appears 2 out of 4 have already been de registered.

😂😂

It’s a good point. Since 21 I’ve put 3% of all my income into a separate account, purely if I happen to find myself unemployed at any point before retirement, it will buy me time, I will shortly be entering this industry so its higher risk vs my other industry. So far I’ve got about $70k.

According to LinkedIn, it appears quite a large chunk it seems. Seems to be many 737 Pilot ads on seek looking for Pilots.

One for the Pilots, is monthly salary payments the norm across the industry?

Someone mentioned on Facebook they did lodge flight plans to BNE for the evening of the day they got repossessed. They went into administration after that which seems to have halted things. With Flair crews in town the day before doing some circuits with its parked Jet, the timing is...

I’ve flown them. Great product. Great staff. Convenient route. I can’t kick that part of the place. The kicking issues are purely balance sheet related. Clearly undercapitalised.

I think it’s warranted. The Australian leaked they had two weeks heads up on legal threats due unpaid leases. So assuming those unpaid leases go back to Feb or March. Then they come out on the day of repossession ‘we are all surprised’. Just be careful with the language from the company, most...

All domestic routes $29 from 9am. Only 29,000 seats. Unknown travel period, assuming 2025.

I guess if you think about it, engineering is probably the one part that they would pay on time, if that area starts to slip, they are at risk of CASA start walking in asking questions and issue notices, as seen with Tiger. Engineering bloke might have been paid on time, but airports, fuel...

Which is why they came out with ‘temporary suspension due aircraft shortage’ I am somewhat skeptical as I think it’s more overcapacity. Jetstar went double daily NEO, overnight the route picked up 100 extra seats. Add in Batik, and it was swimming in seats.

I’d still be happy with a pay per use lounge or something, if VA never intend to use it again. Better than nothing. I somehow think it would be very hard to spin a dollar from it however.

My old folks re booked flights for August with JQ, absolutely free. Virgin wouldn’t book that far ahead for one, neither QF, JQ did though. Definitely shout out to these guys at the moment. I was sort of just expecting ‘relief’ fares or something, but pretty flexible free fares, is good stuff.

I only asked as the aircraft in Melbourne is not all blocked off, just parked down at the jetbase. The OOL aircraft above also only got the concrete blocks today, was just parked as per normal prior. MCY had the concrete blocks on it from the get go. I remember Perth Airport parking stuff in...

This was on my Facebook feed, they are literally blocking the whole aircraft now. But who is doing this? If the lessor has repossessed them? Why do they need to block them off? What’s the airline going to do? Fly them off somewhere? They are not Bonza’s. What the heck is Bonza doing to do with...

You know he is telling lies when he said loads are ‘fantastic’ yet all the airports released data pointing to 50/60% Loads.

The submissions being very mixed and largely siding with VA will no doubt add to the complexity of the decision. I think the longer it goes, it might be siding with VA. It will take the commission extra time to write up and prepare a response on why it would side with VA, vs splitting it both...

Actually I was tossing up whether to buy a pair, I was going to do it next time o flew them, certainly a bit of aviation nostalgia for the future! I guess all the stock might end up online to flog off eventually.
