The captain made it quite clear that with a full load of passengers 447 out of a possible 450, and a lot of freight we were only ever going to make it 'with luck' and 'luck' was no on our side.
As he explained with so much pax and freight we could only load so much fuel.
Surely in such a case you dont take so much freight, surely..... To fail to plan is to plan to fail.
Not happy. Arrived in MEL nearly 3 hrs late and of course missed my connections, and of course I was only one of 447 people this affected.
Seems the captain did not agree with the loading plans, and made it clear he too was not impressed.
Seems to me Qantas need to rethink, as this is NOT how to treat disgrunteled pax who have already been inconvenienced last week.
