QF 764 ADL-SYD was std 1650 but TJG only achieved wheels up off RWY 23 at YPAD at 1745 with touchdown at YSSY on 34L at 1946. The strike was cited to pax as the cause of TJG's late arrival into ADL with consequential knock on effect of late departure.

JQ30 from BKK to MEL sat on the tarmac after landing for 1.5 hours before it could dock at the gate.
A real shame. |

Keeping passengers captive
I really can't understand how any airline can do this to people. It is surely possible to get some stairs and let the passengers off somewhere somehow if that kind of delay is going to be involved.
The one the other day in Perth where people were kept aboard for 4 hours is even more incomprehensible to me. We're not talking here about keeping people on board for safety reasons - these are just straight operational stuff ups that shouldn't happen. You wouldn't leave someone stuck in a lift that long without calling the rescue squad!

Yes, you're right Phil, you wouldn't be stuck in a lift for that long..... unless the lift people were on strike, just like this.
Maybe if Qantas would stop being so tight they wouldn't have this problem. Really, is 5% much to ask for when they're still making such huge profits? Mick |

Its not at all asking for too much, its where inflation is in the country 3% is a joke thats 10 yr ago wage increases in EBA's. Our costs have gone up as well in employers no matter who they are need to take that into account, I cant just add a surcharge or put my fares up when I want to to cover my increase in costs. |
