It has only been there for a few weeks at it is already peeling? They need to get better stickers..........VH-OGL had the same problem, between the nose and the door the scrraf was peeling off.

I suspect the peeling is happening right where the aerobridges continually nudge the fuselage. Because you mentioned Sarah that it was happening between the nose and the door on -OGL as well.

I crewed -VQQ (Sea World) out of AVV on Monday and noticed it was just the poor dolphin on aircraft-left (where the aerobridge attaches) that was peeling, while the shark on the aircraft-right looked OK.

Didn't this also happen with Qantas's Wallabies livery?

Here she is on Thursday (10 April) - almost certainly 'aerobridge rash' I'd say.

Somebody i know who works for JQ said that even when this was 'just' applied he could not believe the Air Bubbles all over it!!

He said it looks really bad, up close....

I flew on her PER-MEL just 2 days after she had it applied, and as Greg posted had air bubbles all over it. I knew it wouldn't take long for some to come off

To place such a large stickers on the side of an aircraft is not an easy job.They always get air bubbles underneath them.
