VH-OJR opperated FJ910 NAN-SYD covering for the FJ747 that didnt come so instead of NAN-SYD-NAN it was SYD-NAN-SYD which got the SYD-NAN pax away on time although delaying the NAN-SYD pax by aggessss!

Edit-
Using callsign of "Pacific 911" on decent now for RWY25. He explained it was a Qantas 747-400 to ATC too.

VH-OJR was operated by QF Flight Crew and QF Cabin Crew. If you were QF you wouldn't lend your aircraft to just anyone to fly.

FJ aircraft was delayed due to a maint problem.

VH-OJR arrived in Sydney at 0603 operating QF2 and then departed again at 1257 for Fiji (ACARS not reprogrammed for the 910 flight number), returning at 2151 as QF911.

VH-OJR QF0002 17/07/2009 06:03 Qantas B747-438 London-Bangkok-Sydney
VH-OJR QF0002 17/07/2009 12:57 Qantas B747-438 London-Bangkok-Sydney
VH-OJR QF0911 17/07/2009 21:51 Qantas B747-438 Nadi-Sydney

This was the QF911 route back from Fiji.

I may be wrong, but I believe for Cabin Crew at least there are periods where they aren't rostered on to any flights, but are put "on call" ie they must be able to arrive at the airport to operate a flight within something like 2 hours notification

I believe being on call is one of the most stressful parts of bein an FA because it makes planning day to day life very difficult

It would be stressful being "up in the air" not knowing whether you will be "up in the air" today!

I'm just saying it is significantly more stressful than rostered flying. Obviously it would be the same in any position where one is on call, but in this context I'm talking about Flight Attendants

Why is it different to anyone that is one call or for that matter stressful?

Because in most other occupations being on call does not involve you leaving home for a couple of days if you do get called up.
