roaming,
if you ever did the PER flights on the -200 you'll remember that the galleys were chock-a-block with the food for 1 service. NO storage whatsoever for a single other item.
I personally could give a #### if they didn't change it...just mentioning the potential probs if they try taking that aircraft to a place where more than 1 meal is required!
And hey... the fact that they are giving the NRT's back to LH couldnt be due to complaints.. could it? How did we get them to start with?
Ohh... less money..blah blah
They are still in our pattern books for July so they aren't heading your way just yet!

Sydney s/h and wolf. You make reference to the current SHORT HAUL A332 when making your comments. The A332s that will be doing these services will be configured for long haul operations. It will be similar to the current A333, except, of course, the aircraft is physically shorter.

mate i was going with you on that but i reckon they will never order bigger galleys because that means they will have less backsides because less seats and that means less money.
with nrt's i reckon thery are giving them back to l/h for a roster to pi$$ s/h off so they can get the s/h union to accept lower conditions.pal they are working one side against the other.
i'm over this company so much it's not funny.i just go to work do my job and go home to the handbrake and the ankle biters.if ops call,mate i'm not home.if they catch me and ask for a favour guess wot my answer is.

mate i will believe it when i see it and by the way the 300 is not much better as far as we are concerned.there is the crew rest as well.
the nigels crew rest is a beaut but ours suck.even the lisa seat at r1 is a shot duck.

Buster,
no different from doing a BOM-SYD on the -300. Thats a 13hr odd duty and there's 4 economy seats in the middle of the aircraft next to the dunnies for the crew rest.

NRT
Syd s/h
We do not have NRT past July 9 - which is one day before the L/H bid period commences. Hence, we have lost them - at least for July and hopefully longer.
Afterall, we are short haul - anyone who wants l/h should be on the transfer list or if casual, move to AKL/LHR.

First 2 A330-200s to be delivered are to be painted Jetstar colours with similiar seating to the current A330-200 but with a different galleys.
The following four A330-200 to be paint QF colours with sky beds IFE etc
I have enquired at both camps whom is going to LAX, QF or JQ and they both seem to think its them and are making provisions to do so

Samford,
great! I dont do regionals anyway, but glad to see one less in the pattern books.
If i wanted to go LH i would have taken one of the many opportunities i have had.

A330-2,s akl-lax-akl cant wait for that one ! Hope the cc get use to cleaning vomit, Have you ever ridden down the back in a 330 ? Yaws & corkscrews her ass off.plus guess the old lax superstars of A chks will fix all the defects. My mistake only six licenced engineers in base.guess those terminal legends will be back working nightshift before too long.
At least they have seen the light and returned the 744 to the land of the rising sun

Have to agree with you midnight. The original Adecco crew were worth defending, but in recent years the standards seemed to have slipped. Although now I'm in short haul I notice it too has been blessed with some shockers - in the form of MAM.... so both divisions have been let down terribly.

mate don't take this so seriously or you'll have a stroke son.i was just having a quiet shot at our rels over the pond.
if you reckon a bom/syd is the pits you should have seen the old ath trips.some of them would have the brasco out of order before we'd even got off the ground.
you would bloody swear that they had stood up with one leg on the bowl and the other on the sink and sprayed all over the mirror.if chem ali thinks le bus are bad he wasn't around to see some dope putting suger in a baby bottle filled with coke and hand it to their kid in the good old days.
the indians are a handful but you've just got to be tough with them or they'd run all over you.keep a handful of playing cards and walking johnny and you've got them covered.
the greeks on the other hand mixed with the yugo's on their way to belgrade were a sight.

I have never changed so many seat covers the Chunder Bus or Vomit Commet.
With only a couple of spare seat covers on board (not that the lazy CC would know where they are) I am sure demand for clean covers will out strip supply
