May be time to revisit the old lounge thread. The good old days when lounge time was "imbibe" time...in "real" airport lounges with real food - Flight deck and the ever so slightly posher, Golden Wing... he'll I don't think you even had to be flying to go to flightdeck from "hazy" memory. 🍾🍾🍾

While one does see a few unsettling behaviours in the lounge these days. I do chuckle a bit remembering old days when you would be sitting next to someone with ash mixed with food and beer stains tumbling down the front of his shirt having spent last two hours pigging out in the flightdeck...

Or fall back onto yoke while getting out seat for toilet trip and seat was activated by him trying to pull himself back upright? FA was in coughpit at time so bit crowded?

Obviously the CVR and ambient mics will confirm what happened, but looking at the slow speed of seat operation again, just cant understand why the movement didn't stop as the FA surely wouldve realised the seat was moving (and presumably saw/heard the pilot's reaction) and immediately took their...

As WP, called today waited for 40min got agent in NZ who then put me on hold for 15min only to tell me she couldn't assist with my request....which was to book flight using 2 stacked GV....and who suggested I keep calling/hanging up until I jag someone in Hobart!!! Called again, another 30min...

Got a $200 QF wine credit voucher from CSM on recent flight but not sure what to use it on. I usually drink Barossa shiraz but grateful advice on anything else worth trying or good value currently. Are the premium mixed shiraz cases actually worth it?

QF should've got the guys that do Pauline's cartoons to do....

CEO of Alaska Airlines reported they found "many loose bolts" on their 737 max 9s. All other issues aside, many loose bolts is not something I want to see mentioned in regard to any flying machine...

Pretty sure thats a million miles away from any "special place" anyone would hanker to be in..!

I thought the SAFO provides some insight as to why FAA thinks its warranted... "The Boeing 737-900ER mid-exit door plugs have an identical door plug design to the 737-9 MAX. As part of their Safety Management Systems, some operators have conducted additional inspections on the 737-900ER...

Cos they're not QF ports, but a handful of curated people's "my special place" .... presumably only able to be reached by flying QF.... yep weird as

This video does an exceptional job of showcasing QF's virtues on gender equity, diversity and indigenous recognition etc, and shows lots of lovely places and faces with production values hinting at QF's forthcoming lifestyle branding...but as a cogent and memorable onboard safety video.... yeah nah.

Will be interesting to see what happens after the next "enhancements" drop... with changes to cr and rebalancing program to provide higher recognition to loyal QF frequent flyers over card churners...

Telstra....The "Qantas" of the telecommunications industry, Though to be fair, Qantas has quite a bit further to sink before they reach the depths Telstra has sadly sunk to...

... more specifically its those fluffy golden handcuffs working their magic...

Thanks JohnK. Yep, I noted and corrected the incorrect autopopulated fields. What stumped me was what to put to confirm I had > 6 mths on passport when that was already clear from uploaded passport and expiry auto pop field... anyway, just uploaded image of passport photo page (but saved as pdf)...

The person in Y using J bin actually stated they had a right to - as someone had filled their bin and they were a gold QFF and usually fly business.....

This situation is becoming more common with increasing numbers of pax going HLO, and touching anyones bag is just asking for trouble. I have seen a few instances already this year where pax have almost come to blows and csm having to get involved - including someone in Y using the J bin and...

I'm trying to fill out the Evoa form on website. Passport details auto populated from uploaded photo, except date of issue changed to today. All good. Passport expiry in 2031 (which got autofilled correctly) so what do I upload for the field confirming Passport has at least 6mths - it has to be...

If it's a Boeing (max family), I definitely ain't going...!
