another night, another qf a380 meltdown
jfk-lax-syd-akl, get to lax, then get a text that qf12 has been cancelled for the night and rescheduled 1100 the next morning.
the kicker for that is the rollover would be I would miss the last connection out of Sydney to Auckland and end up with forced overnight in Los Angeles and then Auckland.
a few things that annoyed me a little
- QF12 actually zero'ed out 48 hours prior so I'm annoyed there wasn't any proactive movement
- while QF11 operated, it seemed that it was never going to operate the QF12 back tonight
- there is something off with scheduling as QF 94 as also operating tonight so it meant that there was only 1 380 flying in, but supposedly 2 out. I'm guessing one was stuck in workshop
- I had to be firm in getting re-routed on NZ5 with Auckland as the final destination. first lounge sent me to ticketing (we can't help you), then the first agent told me "we don't do other airlines" (what a lie, I've done enough IRROPS), eventually had to get the manager on duty to authorize and ok it.
a380 ops really are a cross your fingers and hope you'll get a plane endeavour right now! excuse for the ranty post, a little frustrated!
