I nearly puked when I saw “Joyce Drive” on a lit roadworks sign at Mascot the other day…….My immediate thought was “there’s no way……..!” etc
Turns out that it was named after a local Alderman from the 1950s. But the stench is real…that name and airports/aviation don’t go together.

got me thinking - some “A. Joyce” stencils and black spray paint onto the sides of all Australian LAV service trucks would be a nice touch.

And on the topic of competition with QF - I reckon that VA has joined the race to the bottom with its new (ex-QF) leadership showing all the signs of destroying what used to be a great domestic travel option for regular travellers in their shortsighted greed. I have been away for a year and a half and having just come back see it with fresh eyes.
