But MEL ≠ YMEL, or are they flying between Mildura and Melton?

Rather than comment about IATA and ICAO codes, why not comment about the ACARS message that’s basically stated the aircraft flew without a valid CRS…that’s not good. Not to mention the 5 plus hour delay for the passengers. They could have driven from Melbourne to Mildura in that time.

Mate the same crap (and worse!) happens at every Aussie airline every now and then. They identified an issue and rectified it in a safe and appropriate manner.

True. They are on the CASA training wheels however. Tiger started falling off them about a year in, engineering issues and Canberra started sniffing around, while it took a bit for any action to actually be taken, people started watching. As long it’s not a weekly or monthly trend then agree, move on.

I can imagine the confusion when one is told to follow or give way to the Bonza tailed, LOT ‘wingletted’, half an ‘A’ Enter Air titled, 737

Just follow the weird looking jet with the purple engines!

I’m surprised that days and days have gone by without our cohort of airline executives who pose as Pprune aviation wizards have almost gone silent. 🥱

Good loads
Aircraft going tech causing delays
Flair pinching birds slowing growth
Tamworth, Coffs and Port Maq underperforming
All the naysayers have been proven wrong
Just a good news story

so where’s the good news then? Good loads may not equal enough revenue eg. Not being reliable is a no-no. Blaming Flair is ridiculous

The Friday arvo farewell party is becoming a weekly event I hear.

No FB posts for over a month. Did the Social Media Manager quit as well? Maybe they got sick of all the negative comments?

Hold on Tunnel Boring Machine Legend
Have to blame 777 and Flair
ABs back up / spare bird flew the coop resulting in the delayed sectors
AB stated from the start 90% loads is what they need and most on here said no way would that ever happen on their proposed network. but is has, although with a few routes certainly not meeting this number, as to be expected given the gamble they took with untried pairs

And Brokeback
Facebook, really, thats your go to for how they are doing.....

It’s all good news with two Bonza painted aircraft flying around Poland that have nothing to do with 777 partners or flair, poor press in various cities and an imminent network rework. https://www.planespotters.net/photo/...eing-737-8-max

Eg https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/c...d_your_flight/ $700 ouch! Note the post mentioning advanced cancellations weeks out.
https://www.thechronicle.com.au/subs...s&mode=premium
https://www.sunraysiadaily.com.au/tr...nza-passengers

The company has said it gets 99% of its bookings via their app, another ouch when it comes to industry sales via the agent channel.
As for good loads - 122k of pax in total through the sunny coast since launch (inbound and outbound), that’s 1000 a day, another ouch with 14 movements on average.

Given the comments I would say they are sick of saying sorry, can imagine what the DMs are like! Meanwhile no booking beyond August….

Sharpie was right around this weird Coffs to Sunny Coast route, $29 fares tomorrow. Surely is better uses for aircraft on what is meant to be high margin Sundays. Good way to burn some cash, certainly would be making Tiger proud.

They seem pretty eager to get into Mascot going from recent media reports. No surprises there, that is where the margin lies.

But, but, but we don’t need Mascot it’s not in our business plan. Old mate Tim was in the media recently complaining how restrictive Mascot is. Guess they’re finally realizing whether you like it or not you need Mascot.

you'd think they would have thought about enough stairs to allow front and rear boarding, no-brainer for low cost model on short turns.

Its not like they are utilising the aircraft so much that they need the extra 5 minutes per turn.

surprised that double boarding wasn’t on their startup list.
