"Your flight was cancelled because of air traffic restrictions"
We're sorry we had to cancel your flight JQ906 26/03/2022 from Brisbane to Townsville
Your flight was cancelled because of air traffic restrictions.What the hell?
There is a reason DStar is only ever my last resort!

Runway works meaning ‘only’ one runway available for the majority of this weekend at Brisbane.

So Brisbane has forgotten how to operate with only one runway?
I wouldn't have thought post covid ops were at a level where BNE couldn't manage with one runway!
"We have one runway for landing (its working cause I came in on the flight from Darwin 2 hrs earlier), and we have one runway for taking off. The TO runway is broken so nobody can take off"!
Thanks for the reply.

Forky! **** I thought you’d disappeared long ago 
, good to see you.
My guess is you’re not going to be the only one affected by it, and Jetstar are merely trying to minimise overall disruption to the whole network today.
It sucks, but the same thing could have happened with Qantas as well.
The crew at Jetstar do a good job, so don’t let one disruption ruin your experience and be sure to give them another chance

I know you’re pissed but there’s this thing called cascading disrupts. Today you got unlucky, airlines don’t cancel just to target you specifically. If you can’t work out what/why/how this could have happened with the information provided, you clearly don’t belong on this forum. Best complain on a frequent flyer site and not a professional pilot forum.
"Cascading disrupts huh"? In 45 yrs of flying TAA. Australian, Qantas I've only ever been cascadingly disrupted by Ansett, Virgin, Air North and JetStar!

A well placed titanium spring and I am 100% healthy again!
These days I spend more time fishing than flying but I have a consultancy that still takes me all over northern Australia. Second time in a row that its unexpectedly taken 2 days to get home from Darwin.
Yeah, I know a few JetStar crew - but the operation ....................
I'm back in my comfort zone with Qantas this morning!
Cheers

Fair enough. In all those years of experience you would know that sometimes sh*t just happens.
Heard this one many years ago.....
"Your flight has been cancelled due to Government regulations"
Apparently there is/was a regulation that all the aircraft's engines had to be working!

What do you want them to say?
‘The First Officers kid fell sick so he won’t be in today as his wife needs to work also so your flight is now cancelled’
Operational or Engineering excuses will do just fine.
I once had a CC member go sick during a turnaround, now the ground crew advised the passengers in the terminal it’s cancelled because a crew member feels ill and needs to go home. Now as we walked through the terminal back to our cars we copped a whole heap of abuse walking past 200 people. Please just blame weather...atc...engineering..whatever..next time thanks.

I must have had your share of cancelled Qantas flights as well as my own.

Here's a thought - whistle up a replacement and get the paying punters to where they need to be!

Yes, but I haven't left my pax stranded on the footpath in the late afternoon, 1400 km from home, with nowhere to go!
Not easy to find accommodation in Brisbane at short notice, with all the cancellations, and post the recent flooding demand for temporary accommodation. I got a cab to take me to all the nearest motels he knew while I got on my computer in the back seat trying to find a vacancy. I lucked in at the ninth motel visited when the receptionist took pity on me and gave me a room that they had taken out of service because of damage in the bathroom.
