ive flown on them numerous (at least 6 or 7 since they have been doing per runs) times, and considering they are flown almost 24x7 i have no problem with them

(if they didnt have personal IFE i might've been tempted to say that though)

edit: and i never knew qf used 332's on mel-akl-lax!

Several airframes also spent time on a damp lease to JAL.

There you go... Even more reason to be surprised Rhys or Craig hadn't suggested QF flog them (permanently) to GA...
