Today’s qantas flight QF10 PERMEL was cancelled 24hrs ago and not a single person was notified.
Also one lady apparently purchased a ticket an hour or so before the flight and the system still allowed it, more QF 👻✈️ how disgraceful !!

For any future reference - is there a source for that QF10 comment? Crikey doesn’t count apparently.

You need to stop putting 💩 on Qantas.

Did the said Mr Joyce finish at the end of their contract/appointment or did they break their contract/appointment.
If they did, why would they be entitled to any bonus under their contract/appointment.

The 10 wasn’t cancelled, as per Flight Aware it departed PER and landed in MEL today albeit a few minutes behind schedule.

Not everything you read on the internet is true

Qantas Flights stalled
Syd Telegraph 24/11/23

New Qanats CEO Vanessa Hudson has been accused of failing to live up to her promise to eliminate poor customer service, as flight cancellations continue on Australia's most important business routes.

On-time performance data released this week showed 47 flights were cancelled by Qantas on Canberra-Sydney in October, or 10.1 per cent of flights. Only Melbourne-Sydney fared worse with 111 flight cancellation by Qantas in the month, or 12.1 per cent of services.

The results were not isolated to October, with an average of 50 flights a month cancelled by Qantas on Canberra-Sydney since February. In contrast, Virgin Australia scrapped an average of 10 flights a month on the route, a cancellation rate of around 4 per cent.

I don't know if I'd be categorising Sydney - Canberra as a business route, leave alone an important one.

That city pair is ridiculously over-serviced though for its passenger volumes. With only about 53,000 passenger movements a month (which is not even in the top 20 busiest routes by passenger numbers) CBR gets around 650 return flights a month. Form your own views as to why it might get that ridiculous level of service.

The pollies should lead by example and legislate to remove the SYD CBR route for RPT operations (by air) and use a train.

Won’t happen Mr Proach….no Qantas CL ‘snouts in trough’ perks to be taken advantage of if they had to travel by train.

Ah yes, the thrice-daily train service to Canberra known as the '****-Can-Zen'.

5 hours each way would be character building.

It'd be worth it if they built something like this:

At 500 km/h, it would do the trip in 30 mins or so.

Ah yes, but the Shinkansen is connected to a capital city of a first world aviation nation. In Australia, the control tower at the only airport in the capital city is NOTAMed closed so that the controller can go to the toilet and have a leg stretch.

That is pretty mental. Meanwhile, there will be 100+ Air Services ‘executives’ collecting more dough than the controller to work flexi lines from home sending important t emails about carbon footprint reduction and letterhead fonts.The % of the workforce that ‘manages’ the people who produce something of value has become so large that the revenue created eats itself paying them and we can’t afford the actual workers!

Optus CEO lasted about 3 days after a 15hr outage.
AirNoServices has had 15months of service outages and business as usual.

How often has AirServices been front page news?

To top it all off, the board approved Mr Joyce selling $17m of shares when both they and he knew (but the market didn’t) that the airline was being investigated.
Fixed that for you Tansy.

Good to see VH is on top of all the problems. Never heard of this happening before.

IT’S FIGHT OR FLIGHT FOR QANTASAfter the reign of Alan Joyce in the top office of Qantas, and with Richard Goyder’s tenure as chair set to continue into next year, Australia’s national carrier is finding few friends.

Everyone’s got an opinion on what’s gone wrong with the Flying Kangaroo.

Now winging its way to Margin Call’s desk are details of a recent incident a fortnight ago on Qantas’s regular QF2 flight from Singapore to Sydney, where at least one prominent Australian businessman and passenger was left very cranky.

So angry, in fact, that former investment banker turned non-executive director Charles Kiefel ended up being escorted off the flight by the Australian Federal Police after a debate he was having with the pilot got out of hand.

Kiefel, the chair of Principals Funds Management and a one-time executive at Ord Minnett and ANZ Investment Bank, declined to comment when contacted about the unfortunate incident on the almost eight-hour international flight.

The argument, we understand, concerned repeated delays Kiefel had experienced courtesy of the airline, which we hear also misplaced his luggage. The bags were located and returned several days later.

However, we hear that once Kiefel, who in June 2019 was appointed as a Member of the Order of Australia for significant service to Australia-US relations and to philanthropy, had been walked off the plane by authorities he had calmed down considerably, with no further action taken and no charges laid.

Qantas also declined to comment on the matter. The AFP was also contacted.

Kiefel, 68, has had a long and illustrious career in finance. He has been a director of the Clean Energy Regulator, was a decades-long member of the Menzies Foundation Council and a member of advisory boards at private equity outfits PEP and CHAMP.
