Is Jetstart taking No-Frills to a new level?
There are two JQ arrivals into Hobart after the tower has closed at 2145. On the first day of operation I heard one of these flights call Car 13 at Hobart (the Security guy on the fence) and ask what the wind was doing at Hobart before landing.
I must point out that they also got the HB METAR from ML Centre and called outbound company traffic to get an idea of conditions, but it seems ridiculous to be asking someone who probably has no idea what they're looking at for wx info.
Comments?
