Qantas cutting domestic capacity by 5%

It's not strict-strict, I've got a colleague booked to arrive on QF12 connecting onto 1431 (the 1:40 connection) on a single ticket next week.

There might have been leeway to book that connection from the call centre given the cancellation of the original connecting flight and the horrid wait time until the next one after 1431.

I'm on the same flight pair but my SYD-CBR is a separate ticket so I had problems changing that.

If we miss our connecting flight we'll probably just hire a car and drive back to Canberra rather than wait for the next flight 5 hours later.

I’m not sure if there’s an exception for CBR but I had a 1:45 connection to OOL that has now blown out to 5+ hours as it’s no longer legal. It was legal when it was booked.
