Qantas will provide a one-time bonus of $5,000 to each of its 19,000 employees
They obviously thought that the part relating to actually providing a flight to a paid for destination didnt apply to their world(3rd) class airline.
Probably thought the curfew in NZ wouldnt apply to the flight they sent there a day or 2 ago either even though there was no way it was ever going to get there before curfew.
The fools running this circus have no idea & as Steve says,they dont need any help in ruining holidays for many many people.

It was the Captains decision, he thought that a quick get away out of Sydney with favourable routing etc May see them there on time or a few minutes over…. Probably says more about him than the airline, when has anyone every got a quick getaway out of Sydney,
The flight was airborne in Sydney at 11:15pm Wellington time meaning they had 45mins to cover the 1200nm to Wellington to beat the curfew or a full hour and three-quarters after the latest time to beat curfew. The Qantas IOC in all of their wisdom, chose to let the flight depart in the hope of getting a curfew dispensation. It didn't happen and they diverted to CHC, which was the IOC's preferred option to remaining in Sydney.
So no, the Captain did not depart hoping for a quick getaway and favourable routing, so other than accepting the near certainty of a diversion and the IOC's preference for them to depart anyway, it doesn't say more about him or her than the company at all.

If you are going to have a crack at the Captain, at least get your facts correct.

U can just imagine how the captain felt knowing how this was going to end. Of course the people making these decisions are safely tucked up in bed whilst the chaos they have caused is no longer their problem or concern.

So very true. It goes for all the CEO’s of these airlines, sitting on their asses sipping expensive wine at top shelf restaurants while their crew and ‘customers’ get fu#ked around no end through the middle of the night.
Pity.
Or Holidaying in Europe and Wimbledon whilst the front end staff are already burnt out, crew fatigue is at historical levels plus sickness. Then the COO sends out an email saying its all because of Covid. No its not. You cut EVERYTHING to the bone, let experienced staff go and now reap what you sowed. The ONLY reason the travelling public are not abandoning a particular airline in Oz at the moment, is because they are equally crap.
Pity.
Pity.
They always have an excuse or someone to blame,its never their fault,they live in another world & everybody is wrong except them.

When you initially claimed that it was the Captain, not the company. Now in your Jetstar story you are clearly blaming the company.
Additionally, who gave you licence to post “like it or leave” edicts? I personally would rather dislike it, as anyone would, and agitate to get the problems fixed. This was a very good airline when I joined-I'd be gratified to witness it being so again.

No, I am saying the Jetstar Captain made the decision to go, not the company. But hey you believe what ever you like. And I stand by my statement, if you hate the company you work for so much why would you work for them? 'Agitate to make it better', are you about to dust off the red ties and pa cards again?

They should read some of the letters available at traveller.com.au from people who are getting shafted every day due to the incompetence from these so called airline executives.
Doesnt look like they have much under control at all except the usual excuses & refusal to listen to what is actually going on with their 3rd world attempt at customer service.
