Only now we can see who was right or wrong and I finally get to have my say.

No point arguing with such know it all's back then. Only 5 years later we can see now how their knowledge was so full of 5hit.
Without the global disruption, you would have been wrong, and those others would be right. With it, well you are right, and those others are wrong. With the global disruption, and you now being right, and those others wrong, you now get your podium moment, congratulations. Being right, doesn’t always mean you are that, in this case, you are, thanks to a global event. Are you that person who was part of the 66% who went online and blasted the 34% who apparently got it wrong and told them they are pieces of 5h!t because they got it wrong and you got it right? Behaviour seems similar between these two

Perhaps continue this discussion in 2035 when the replacement fleet arrives, which will be based on market dynamics. I’ll see you back in here a decade, you will be right or wrong, based on what the market is doing at the time, including any last minute shifts.

Perhaps Jetstar could flick some cash to their poor cousins and give the sim centre in Melbourne a bit of a service whilst they are refurbing the 78's? Seems that the 737 and jetstars 78 sims don't like it when the aircon shi$s itself in the building.
It's just a shame Alan and his teamed failed to have the equipment serviced for the last 13 years.

I am not making any predictions about the future.

Yes sure the 787 "could" be gone by then. Not once did I ever say they will be here forever.

​​​​​​​All those who said it will never fly again after covid were wrong is the relevant conversation here.

Most said he A380 would never fly again also.

Bad management is the only reason the -8's are still flying. People expected (wrongly) management to know what they were doing. If they had something else, they'd be using them, rather than spending money on them to be able to continue their use.

No IFE in the new upgrades either. They really are bogan busses.

You guys need your head read.

As much as I’d love to see the JQ 787s plying the QF transcont routes with a red tail. The things are mostly chockers and burn a tonne and hour less than a QF330. With almost 100 more punters than a QF -9, if they’re not printing money, JQ management needs to be sent to a reeducation camp in China.

The same building that houses the JQ 788 sim? I’m sure JQ pay market rates to lease that space (), maybe it’s time hit them with a special levy to contribute towards fixing the cooling systems.

No IFE is good. Nobody uses those clunky pieces of **** anyway, and it then leaves room for fancy ipad holders (pads being the thing that actually gets used by the pax).

Refurb should be good. Hated crew rest in that stupid seat, could never sleep. The random economy section north of L2 goes in the bin like it should. Should make getting business in staff travel possible now. All good news.
