Mono I guess forecast wx will have an impact.
Do the airlines (Both QF &
VB) personnel on the ground at the various airports pass on "real time" wx conditions? Are any of them trained wx observers?
I know that the ATC/BOM wx system is set up for this purpose, but it could be used as another source of info in the decision making process.
It is a tough call once heading over west - to continue or divert. I would have thought that YPKG would have been a more suitable alternate than YPAD. Or is it the lack of facilities that stop this?
From the news reports I saw, the SLF said that
VB just let them all sleep in the terminal.
Could do that anywhere
