Buster,
Sorry I was away on a trip,I'll try to check on here more often...I miss our little sparring matches especially now that Gilligan has gone on holidays to the Antarctic....lol
Here's what actually happened...
MEL is so keen to get ANYONE to land they have not only scrapped landing fee's they are now PAYING airlines to land and have even subsidised fuel.So SQ decided to land and not only pick up cheap fuel but make some cash as well.
Another rumour is that one of the bosses in SQ who also owns a few shopping centers in Orchard Road has bought the shops in Tulla's terminal.So now he wants more business and thought this would be a good idea.A few diversions for increased turnover....crafty little devils those Singaporeans.....
Just wait till Darth finds out about this cash cow and you will see more QF aircraft in MEL than public servants in Canberra or Victorians in Queensland...(on holidays of course...) E
It looks as though poor old Don has been sucking on lemons again...bad habit Don and bad for your teeth too....
