With recession, masses of people are heading for low cost airlines or not flying at all. The high cost legacy carriers in for a rough trot over next 5 years.
Yep, better tell Joyce the first batch of 787 900s going to mainline be redirected to Jetstar...think even he would disagree nowadays......
'High cost legacy carriers' I guess you are referring to Qantas? Hasn't the transformation dealt with that? Certainly as far as the new pay deal for mainline pilots flying the 787 that is certainly the case........
Forgot to mention fuel price in your argument.....

I'm just a crappy PPL, so obviously I know nothing, but I'm quite often SLF into ZQN; my thoughts are always, my god, I hope these guys absolutely know what they are doing. Descent into that airport is scary, IMHO.

You completely missed the point ranting on about low cost operators.
Lion landed a 737 in the sea short of the runway in Bali thinking the runway was wet!!
Can you imagine how a management pilot on his glory trip out the office with a pay to fly FO will get on, at least the NZ media will have something to talk about for 5 years.

do you live in a bubble ? The courier mail reported on Friday last, that many large builders are going belly up, cos the real estate bubble has well & truly burst.

So shouldn't fly QF ever ?
Malindo is not indo, it's Malaysian. Like saying FJ is Australian.

I swore I wouldn't feed the troll, but you really need to get another researcher. The QF 744 was NOT written off, because it was cheaper to repair than replace it. A good guide is the second hand value versus the repair value. Do some proper research before spouting your "I heard" bull**** all over the place.

It's going to be a very rough recession !!!
By the way, just responding to some of the ignorant rubbish on here, doesn't make a troll.

Going to be far more than a real estate slump. 23 financial institutions(apart form big 4 who have govt guarantees) had their credit ratings downgraded yesterday. Don't you read the news ?
Another GFC perhaps ?
Todays events in UK, will hurt airlines that are already struggling.

Oh BNEA320, I feel sorry for you, you are like Chicken Little running around telling everyone who will listen that the sky is falling in. You must suffer from terrible anxiety.
You spent the last 2 years telling us that because you found a cheap airfare to LAX at Christmas, Qantas was certain to fail! You came out looking very foolish and rather than pulling your head in you are upping the ante and telling us that now the entire country is doomed! In fact, not only is a recession on the way, we are already in one.
Sadly for you, (but luckily for the rest of us), that doesn't appear to be the case. GDP: Australian economy rebounds 1.1 per cent, beating expectations
I like this line the best:
He is an economist, you are not.
We are NOT in a recession.

I like this line the best:
"The decent rebound doesn't just dash any lingering fears that Australia was in a recession, but it also boosts hopes that the surge in commodity prices will trigger a rapid recovery," said Capital Economics chief economist Paul Dales. "The income recession of 2015 has given way to a mini income boom."
We are NOT in a recession.
Anyway what's the debate about whether or not there's a recession got to do with the thread topic.
I suspect there some pretty tight hoops to jump through before anyone gets to do the flash RNP procedures into NZQN.

All airlines into ZQN are required to be RNP qualified. QF is flown by Jetconnect aircraft as these crew are always current on this airport ( a landing and t/off every 30 days I believe)
