I wrote a while ago about the increased utilisation on the 380 and 747 would cause problems. It now turns out that the 380 to Dallas that returned to Sydney last week was on an MEL for one pump in one tank US. The problem was the second pump I believe in that tank failed. Inadequate down time to fix I suspect. Just to prove that the lunatics are still running the asylum even thou it's quiet. Last night at 2200 they were trying to find a 767 captain to operate the 0605 flight to Darwin. Guess what? Couldn't get one. Service cancelled. Surplus of Captains on the 747, VR and two 767 Captains are doing a ground school as we speak on the 747. Is it just me or are they crazy?
