Geez Qantas that was quick!
 

Given the script by the QF Domestic 'CEO' AKA the $4 million dollar man was only delivered to the Qantas mainline pilots only a week ago, the jet is painted and flying..

Crew may be sparse, but it just goes to show that like politicians these guys are disingenuous only when their mouths are moving!

Hand on heart they have no nefarious 'intentions'...Qantas pilots ought ask themselves, did anyone notice his other hand?
The question to ask is were his fingers crossed?

I’d be interested to ask the paint shop how many more they have booked in to paint like that.

This was touted before Xmas, everyone new long before last week

Virgin have had A320s for years , did not hear a peep out of any employee. Nobody could give two hoots.

Qantas does the same everyone gets all antsy. It’s the end of the world etc...

Cringe and whinge welcome to Australian aviation...

Correct the author if wrong, but are seniority lists at Virgin all amalgamated now? Was there an attempt to do so when Mr Borghetti became CEO?

The point being the latest snake oil merchant, Mr David said 'nothing to fear', inflated the number of Network (subsidiary) from 2 to 6, (as posters wrote here) then remain perplexed that;

• The pilots don't trust them

• Newspaper articles at the time of JQ's creation stated only 23 aircraft, lost decade ensued as JQ rapidly out numbered its parent!

Mr David was certainly not a Qantas 'executive' in 2004. Which airline had he yet to be terminated from back then?

A full water cannon salute for a couple of Decade-odd-Old repainted Bogan freighters.

Bit over the top, don’t you think? Unless some kind of ‘image’ is trying to be portayed...

Kind of poetic isn’t it? Used to take them on holiday. Now it’ll take them to work.

HA. Very true.

Four wheel mains probably indicates it is a well used ex-Indian Airlines one... I think they were the only ones to buy them.

Nope, not 4 wheel mains. It's an ex-Jetstar frame. Here's another view of that aircraft along with GT's analysis :)

In this little black duck’s opinion, sharing a link to any of that author’s articles should be an immediate 1 month sin bin by Pprune moderators.

Your darts can't be much good if your eyes are that bad! :)

Calm down Slippery Pete.

The primary reason for me posting it was for the PICTURE.
Besides, I did warn about the author so people could choose NOT to click on the link.

I stand corrected, its the angle of the photo...

Of course nobody gave two hoots - the A320 fleet wasn't VA's at the applicable time. First Skywest A320 arrived in Oct 2010; purchase of Skywest announced Oct 2012.

Oh that’s f*ckin brilliant :D :ok:

Let’s face it, what is QANTAS without some publicity stunt?

Virgin only got their A320s because they bought SkyWest.

Whilst hands continue to be wrung at Union H.Q...
This just in...

Beware of managers speaking with forked tongue! :sad:



Recovered from the 'pilot meeting' that apparently spooked management into cancelling further 787 orders was this picture...
