@crosscourt1 It’s a fine line isn’t it between late withdrawal to have every chance to play the tournament; vs knowing well in advance and leaving a spot open for someone to move up the direct acceptance list. “Long term injury” seems not hard to know earlier….. Raducanu seemingly similar..
@taipan168 Add getting rid of the on departure secondary fluid checks before departing to AU which seems only to serve passenger dehydration and AU duty free sales…..
@analyticflying I’m sure with schedule disruption in the ME there must be (temporary) spare slots to allow the 10am arrival time. You’d think LHR management would take a pragmatic approach. They would be working with the ME3 on service capacity at the moment, and offer up slots to others.
@analyticflying@LachlanB_ Reported medical (of crew member 😥) according to social media post(s) by onboard pax.
The onward leg PER-SYD also took a weirdly inland routing too (compared to other PER-SYD flights that day).
@analyticflying QF702/703 got the A330 intermittently too, usually coinciding with start of school holidays and at times just the Saturday flight pair at the start of the holidays.
@analyticflying@3121Lego New (actually historical old) QF93 timings late night MEL departure not great for onward US connections the biggest drawback to the new departure time, but LAX should be big enough market on its own to make timing attractive, especially as a point of difference to other carriers.
@analyticflying Where will they position crew for return leg? Crewed MEL-DRW-SIN with crew pre-deployed to SIN (?deadhead ex-PER), or swap out at DRW and have another do DRW-SIN-DRW?
@crosscourt1 It’s incredible that he can win 56 of 60 and yet the YE#1 only decided this tournament. Sinner’s record equally incredible given the 3 months off he had (albeit outside grand slams). And gap to #3 bigger than gap between #3 and #1000…. Some great stats at the moment. Incredible.
@analyticflying@SteveNomadic@Nomadic_OMD Will it have the legs for GPS-PPT? I guess lightly loaded the ~4200mi should be ok (pending winds), versus a “fully loaded” range more like 1000mi less that that….
@analyticflying True - guess they figure they can add an A350 sunrise frame direct and/or what would it do for 787 utilisation as a tag? Was EZE not served via SCL at one stage (so not without precedent)?
