So true about the IFE.
Just returned from a HKG trip............both sectors the IFE was stuffed. As usual the CSM spent the mandatory 3 hours trying to fix, reboot the system, then grovel to the FF's for the next 6 hours.
This system is beyond a joke..............its an utter disgrace.
There is such a thing called the Trade Practices act in this country , and each time a QF aircraft takes off with a U/S -IFE then Qantas is in breach of the Act. When pax complain- I don't do the usual and say "write to Geoff or John".
No .." best write direct to the Trade Practices Commission-25 York St, Sydney" and put your case.
Anyway, I was thinking of submitting an "innovations@ qantas " idea.:
1. Take off all overhead lockers. ( huge fuel saving).
2. Bring back the 8mm movie projectors. They rarely broke down, good colour and it will give the CSM something to do ( change over the cartridges).
What do you think ??
Got merit??
I might meet my CCTM and have a 1:1 power discussion. Nothing like a bit of brown nosing before I leave-who knows I might even be able to jag an eXcel award before I go( the $150 DJ's voucher will come in handy for Xmas giving).
