BUT, my biggest concern is how unreliable they have been during 2018/2019. The cancellations on the east coast were ridiculous, bags always being left behind and the blow back from p*#@ed of punters made it known too. What will be done to ensure better reliability going forward? It’s all well and good these gooses saying “right route right plane”.... but no good when it gets cancelled and everyone get chucked on a 737 6 hours later on a recovery flight.
bags being left behind? If that happens, it’s due to baggage handling issues not weight restrictions.
as for unreliable, QF weren’t providing adequate engineering/spare parts. If that doesn’t change then I expect reliability won’t change.
