Brisbane Hotel And New York Slip
Argusmoon you were too charitable to lowerlobe. The french word you used to describe him is an understatement :-))
He clearly has only 1 great passion in his woeful life, and that is to criticise the FAAA over imaginary sins. The 1 thing he always demonstrates is his ignorance about nearly everything that he talks about in here.
1) The FAAA has not approved the IBIS hotel in Brisbane for Long Haul. Short Haul FAAA have approved that hotel for their crew.The Novotel continues to be the Long Haul hotel.
2) The slipping decision regarding New York was made late yesterday arvo by Qantas. This was communicated to the FAAA early evening yesterday (friday). The reason why long haul crew will be slipping temporarily in New York is due to delays that will be experienced with the new security measures introduced yesterday by US authorities in response to the LHR security situation. NOTHING TO DO WITH IT BEING CHEAPER AS SUGGESTED BY DEFCON4.
As for communication going out about this....... obviously the FAAA office is shut over the weekend........ it's staff are entitled to have their weekend break. Also, Qantas is still working out the details for the slipping arrangements in New York.
We will now see if lowerlobe apologises for his usual wrong outbursts. My bet is he won't.
Also, as argusmoon said, if lowerlobe bothered to ring operations or the FAAA emergency number he would have been told this information. But of course lowerlobe always prefers to make a dunce of himself with total drivel that he posts on here.
A sad life indeed!
