earlier this week one of the 3 FJ 330's was damaged, which messed up their schedule.
Presume anyone flying from OZ or NZL to LAX could have easily been put on a nonstop service to LAX, but the question is, why don't they seem to have a contingency in place for such situations ?
It's seems they are trying to run a 3 aircraft long haul schedule now with 2 long haul aircraft (apparently some of the NAN/OZ services have been downgraded to 737's, so maybe VA & JQ are carrying some of FJ pax.
Surely with QF owning something like 46% of FJ & NZ owning something like 3%, they could find a suitable replacement aircraft from QF or NZ ?
Although with all QF's 763's now gone, no help.
(
AFAIK NZ used to fly A 763 nan/lax/nan 10 years ago)
Read somewhere that FJ have or are looking at getting another 330 later this year, this time a 330-300 . Bet they wish they had it now.
