Vale Australian Airlines
She's gone as of midnight , just checked and the website been shutdown...the Blue Shirts are no more and Ochre is but a distant memory. Sad day
short flights long nights
What will happen at Cairns?
Wish they'd close that revolting Death/Boganstar brand instead!

Talk about Beancounter ****e. Just dubious accounting from a company leasing its own aircraft and people back to itself. A scenario out of Yes Minister (the civil service) if I've ever seen one.

Farewell to a good Airline
I agree, each time i flew on Australian Airlines the staff were always friendly and courteous and helpful, nothing seemed a bother when asked a question. It is a shame the rest of QANTAS could not get there act together, i am sure some of their staff could have learnt a thing or two!!

UR2,
The crew at AO all have their jobs. AO is now a wet leasing company for QF operating all QF Intl flights out of Cairns... pretty much doing the exact same thing just everyone is now wearing a QF uniform (tech and cabin crew) with a few changes to their network (i.e. NRT, SYD and BNE overnights, but no more HKG etc)
I believe some of the pilots are trying to get back to Sydney or Melbourne bases. And have also heard that a small number of cabin crew wishing to get back to colder climates have bid to go to Bogan* International
Looking forward to my next flight on AO!!!
Hopefully soon!

Fantastic Airline, Fantastic Crew
We had a blast !
And we will continue to do so as QF.
Watch out for the AO crew on QF flights - you will know it is us when your boarding card says ´operated by australian ´
