Qantas Delays/Cancellations

The problem is that bed bugs are often pesticide resistant, and the eggs will hatch after about a week.

Yes, I've since read from an Australian expert with 25 years' experience studying bed bugs that among insects, they are the most resistant to spraying.

Apparently they hide in crevices and need an expensive deep clean to 'depart this world'.

13 Oct QF 11 SYD-LAX cancelled.

This is due to A388 VH-OQL on Sunday 11 October having diverted to PER on QF64 ex JNB, and then not arriving in SYD until 2224 hours.

Then on Monday 12 it operated a QF7011, nominally a 1430 hours scheduled departure ex SYD, arriving LAX with passengers at 1057 hours. Nex up was QF7012, a 1300 hours LAX-SYD that took off at 1359 with arrival due in SYD at gate at 2147 hours tonight, Tuesday 13. Hence it wouldn't make curfew in Sydney if trying to run 'the 11'.

A388 VH-OQI that arrived in Sydney last night at 1822 hours, 147 minutes late as QF64 from JNB is the expected motive power for Wednesday 14 October's QF7, the 1300 hours SYD up and across to DFW.

The latter is however not forecast to depart until 1500 mid afternoon.

Colleague -OQB is rostered on QF63, the 1035 hours SYD-JNB suggested as departing at 1145 hours.
