On another thread, I made a comment that I was noticing VA flights slowing down.
Has anyone else noticed this?
My examples are:
BNE-ROK - Use to be circa 60 minutes, now 70 minutes on a Fokker, 75 minutes on an E-jet or 737 or 95 minutes on an ATR.
OOL-SYD - Use to be circa 60 minutes, now 90 minutes.
BNE-SYD - Use to be circa 60 minutes, now 95 minutes.
OOL-MEL - Use to be circa 120 minutes, now 175 minutes.
Is my memory playing tricks on me, or have flight times blown out? The northern flights I could imagine have been slowed to make the ATR pig seem not quite so sluggish, but not the southern sectors........comments?
I do note VA have slowed their non ATR flights down....presumably to save fuel
I think you will find the plane slowing has nothing to do with VA, going slow is not more economical,
