The
BITRE data doesn’t support this being widespread.
For the latest month available July OTP VA group was 50.9%, QF group 52.3%. Cancellation rate VA 7.8% vs QF 5.6%.
Whilst I don’t doubt your 4 individual flights were on time VA has suffered as a big a shortfall as QF, and I doubt they miraculously improved back to 85%+ OTP in a month.
