Gone!

Just noticed these expire tomorrow… yours if you can use them! PM your details (Surname/QFF#) if you have enough time to link to your flight(s). I will transfer tonight.

Postponed again…according to Exec Traveller website at least.

The delivery date of the Max10 is not confirmed, it moved from July 2023 to “mid-2023” when the orders were adjusted in 2020. Now with the Max8’s arriving in Feb 2023 it is more than likely the 10’s won’t appear until sometime in the third quarter. Virgin’s options in many ways will be...

Update to the above - Called tonight and waited 20 mins on 131211. Got a lovely fellow in Fiji who had to put me on hold a few times to check things and the call took about 30 mins in total but both flights were changed fee free and ticketed on the call. Didn't have to provide any extra info -...

Hoping someone in this thread could help without me trawling through a lot of pages. I need to contact QF to change some flights and take advantage of the fee free changes domestically due to a covid positive test. Before I spend hours on hold what information will they need to confirm this...

One would hope that if this were true the pilots would bend a little on Sunrise in return for other benefits elsewhere throughout the network. It clearly is about working hours for the Sunrise flights and that is fair enough for the pilots. If it were me at the table I’d make sure that at all...

I wouldn’t read too much into this. It’s the last weeks of school holidays and is a week that has a long weekend (Aus Day is 27th in lieu). Both airlines adjust schedules in January to reflect the very slow business travel month. This would more than likely be compensated later in the day with a...

The first one needed some certification work completed as there are changes to the emergency exits. Once this work is done the others are all just carbon copies.

A joke and less third world?? What like OOL, or LTN, LST (yes, Luton and Launceston), or MEL’s T4, ZQN, LGB, and I can go on... HBA doesn’t need aerobridges. They won’t change the desirability of the destination for international airlines to serve the location. Sure airlines consider amenity...

I think you mean power in and push out. That will/should bring the aircraft closer to the terminal building at least, meaning a potentially covered walkway could span the length of the apron and the uncovered walk out would be not too bad. They will have 7 bays as a result of this work. What I...

That's really interesting about the extra weight of the antenna unit and the increase in TO figures. I was only thinking the other day (and was going to put this in the Ask the Pilot thread) what impacts the antenna units had so thanks for sharing! What I'm more interested in is what is the...

They used to hand the amenity kits out on all the A330 Transcon services but this changed about the time "the business" seats launched and now it is only on the red eye services. VA also changed the kits to be different to the long haul service around this time as they used to be the same for...

From other threads I know you're a pilot AviatorInsight so please don't think I'm trying to be "that guy" with this reply. I promise I'm not! YFW, YIE, and I think YVD is fitted. The first two I mention are 100% fitted as they have been parked next to flights I was on in the past couple of...

This is the biggest issue for VAH, and for the life of me I can't work out how they have got away with this for so long. The grandfathered ownership is a nonsense, the theory being that VAI is 100% owned by the 10% that is free floated and that free float is majority owned by Australian...

Slow start to the working week in Melbourne next week with Cup day on Tuesday. Monday is a Clayton's Public Holiday. If you are unlucky and have to work the 5am get's you in by 8 with the time difference, no point having a flight arrive at 9am on such a day.

Thanks for the detailed answers you've given JB. Really appreciate your help understanding this stuff! Cheers, Boof

Thanks JB. You might have had a long day at the wheel, or maybe you read my mind as QF63's scenario with the 747 was going to be my next question. I was actually asking about the A380 fuel quantity dumped for QF7 if you could please possibly take a stab? Also another thing that popped into my...

Hi JB, Roughly how much fuel would you estimate QF7 to have dumped today? I was listening to them on the departures frequency and they said they needed 45 mins to dump fuel once started. That is 112 tonnes based on the rate you quote. Would that seem right to you? Thanks Boof

SMH are saying QF63 had a cracked windscreen, and QF7 had a flap retraction issue.
