Greetings All,regarding QF's directorship speculation I recall that John Mullen at one time was Sir Peter Abels RHM at TNT (Ansett days?) From this position I believe he has done quite well in other organisations in management/directorship roles.Just a Thought. Cheers 325i.
Jump to postGreetings again, had a bad night last night ,the neighbours dogs were restless,hence an error in my last post.
LH's 748 J class seating is 2 2 2 not 1 2 1 as stated. Got confused with the QF flight to LAX on the 380.
Cheers 325 I.
Greetings All, swed3120 mentioned that LH 748 J class is 2 3 2.
Flew LH ex Lax on the 748 and the seating was 1 2. 1.
Likewise ex LHR on UA's 772 to SFO was 1 2 1 as was the 773 ex SFO to SYD.
As an aside I preferred the Polaris seating to QF's new seats on the 380.
Cheers 325 I.
Some very constructive minds on this thread!
Must be something in the water.

Greetings Folks, Was watching 2documents on Trump last evening ,quite disturbing,how he got the Presidency baffles ones imagination, The programmes were 2016 vintage.

Jump to postHi Casinterest,thanks for your response.
My question as DJT is no longer President how can the papers served refer to him as President ?
Is it a courtesy for former leaders or is this a misguided assumption by his legal rep?
Cheers.
Pardon my ignorance but how on earth can he,DJT, be referred to as the plaintiff ...President Donald j trump.
I just wish he would exit our lives in a reproductive manner!
I look forward to someone enlightening me with reference to my opening sentence.cheers.
In order,L1011.500, B757,B787/9 AB380 ,AB359.:

Greetings to Classiclover,thank you for your report.
I thoroughly endorse everything you said about Qatars on board service.
Last flew with them late 2019 with flights on A380,B787 and A350's.
They make it difficult for one to fly with another airline.

With regards to Paul Stoddart formerly owning Minardi he was also behind an unsuccessful foray with OZJet Down Under.

To my fellow contributor, Connntriutions, my point is "speculations".
Apologies for not responding sooner but one these days has a priority for more important issues.
Thank you for your response .

Greetings Folks,
Purely speculation on my part but assuming Squire Calhouns response to the reporters question "YES",is indicative of his inside knowledge of an airline that is heavily committed to BA's product, the real answer!

Greetings Folks, picked up a thread via Airlinegeeks who had an"interview" with their Chief Legal Officer.
Someone is living in fantasyland!

Greetings Folks, Virgin are on the "verge" here on Australia not looking good for the name! Perhaps at the end of the day a name change (through a "takeover" would not be such a bad thing. Then who and why would this scenario suit? Thought I'd throw in a curve ball to stimulate t...

Jump to postGreetings Folks,an interesting number of comments.The 747 appears to be the choice of "Y" users however after having flown,over the years, in the 100/200/300/ 400 and the SP as compared to flights on 777.200/300 in "J" there is little to compare.I guess it is a matter of horses f...

Jump to postGreetings Folks, boy that is one very aggressive looking aircraft!
All the best to Boeing and their supply partners in getting this aircraft in the air.
Despite the naysayers this aircraft will eventually rule the skies just like the 747.
well tests my bit , cheers 325i.
Greetings Folks, there is an article in the June issue of Airliner World that gives an overview of the demise of WOW and that Mogensen is attempting to have another go!

Jump to postGreetings Folks, RyaairGuru mentioned that QF in 2021 will be the longest running airline.
Not being pedantic but when AJ had a set to with the unions some time ago, they ceased flying for a short period.
Would this not throw a spanner in the works to this claim .just asking
Cheers 325i.
Thank you Waterbomber2 for your response.It would appear to me that you had a one off experience or that air travel does not agree with you.
Take a deep breath and have another go in flying with one of Europes better airlines. Alternatively upgrade to J class . Cheers ,325i.

Greetings Folks, at long last whatever SQ do will finally bring them into the 21st century.
What was acceptable 40 odd years ago is now passé!
Dear Boeingphan,I cannot accept that you were subjected to sounds as reproduced on your video. I have had over 20 flights on QF's A380's(J class) and have never experienced what you were subjected to. If you want to experience a noisey flight by comparison try a B777.300ER, seat 7K on EK!
