Well I would just correct that most pilots in QF mainline would have been alive in 1978, remember they have not recruited for 6 years. Virgin Jetstar, yes, lots of youngins there.. Melbourne is still a crap of a place for winds, few days ago it was 330/35 at 3000ft and 150/20 on the ground. I guess the locals like it. I prefer to remain north of the direct Bne - Adl track.
