perth 743 s
The Sat morning 743 to Syd that broke in Perth, was fixed at about 1800. They could not send it to Syd because of SYD curfew. They then sent it to Mel Empty as a positioning flight as another 743 was due in Perth later.
Another 743 finally came to Perth. Although its STD “from Perth” was supposed to be about 1600 Saturday, it didn’t arrive until 0030 Sunday.
The plan was for a quick turn around.
Pax were all on (full load) by about 0200 and then…. Flight crew out of hours.
Apparently the ground staff were all too scared to tell the Pax. These were the Sat morning Pax still trying to get to Syd.
0230 Sunday- very angry pax file back into the terminal.
I think the A/C is still there.
