Merged: Qf cancels/delays flights out of Perth
767 - U/S... flight canned
743 - U/S... flight to mel canned
743 - U/S... Flight to syd canned
Heard it was a chaotic scene this morning with almost 750 people stuck at the terminal. Pax were told all bags had gone to Sydney even though pax were sitting in the terminal at Per.
Anyone know anything?

QF's PR section must have an awful lot of staff employed these days. I think they would almost need a ratio of 1 to 1 to handle the reg complaints they will/are getting.
The mighty QF, main colour of QF (apart from white ,which is not a colour anyway)? RED, red means danger, beware in all fields !

Apparently the Sydney bound flight was canceled due to a "recurring issue of odour detected in the cabin" leaving stranded passengers to spend the night in Perth's domestic airport.

surely they should be able to pick up 4 or 5 used 744's on the market,
give them a quick spruce up (same ife as the 743) and let them loose

Aside from that there is no 747-400’s available for either sale / dry lease [except for two which need serious mod’s] only WET Lease / ACMI aircraft
It’s the same as many regional’s in and around Australia are looking for Dash 8’s -100/200/300 series but it’s the same again the only ones that are on the market are earlier models with no APU / mid life engines and avionics. These sellers know that and are commanding high prices with a -100 in the low 30’s msn attracting a price of US$3.25mill, with no APU and engines / avionics timed out.

Does anyone know if some of the -400's will be used to relace the classics when the Dugong arrives? Or will there still be a shortage of airframes for some time to come after that?

Jetstar to the rescue, yet again!!!
I hear that Jetstar will start operations to the West coast from ALL east coast cities by the end of April.
The Qantas product is grossly overrated and outdated. Time for a fresh start, enthusiastic young cabin crew (I'm sick of flying with my nanna!!) and NEW aircraft.

Bob - even if its a new plane, if it isnt looked after, it will still break down.
QFs planes may be old and crusty, but if they are given some "lovin" they will be fine.
As for QFs crusty grannies.....well yes...true....
- but think of the things they could teach you.....

Guys i think you are all out of line with regards to the "grannies" comments. Dont get me wrong, i like a nice young FA to look at, but one day she will get older. What are you ment to do??? Fire her because she ages like everone else. As far as I am concerned QF do the right thing by keeping the FA's that have worked hard and still continue to do so. Just imagine that it was a relative or friend of yours that got treated or spoke about like that. Not nice!!!!
"What are you ment to do??? Fire her because she ages like everone else."
My understanding is they do the next best thing in Singapore and Dragonair. Needless to say, no old (or fat) chicks!
