Me too but they lost me when they retired the Embraer fleet. Fortunately, I no longer fly.


Never flown Jetstar due to bad reports I had heard over the years.

Quaintarse may believe they are top dog, but they still leave a lot to be desired in the cabin.

I also think it's unbelievable that some Americans are demonstrating for their right to get infected, meaning some will die. Either gullible or just dumb, I think.

Then let them, & with that attitude who wants them?

Prefer a Sopwith Camel, Des? [biggrin]

Well yes, for knocking around wiv de lads on de weekend.[biggrin]


Give me an E90 any day of the week. Now bought up by Boeing it seems. More space & decent seats albeit, I think they might be Leather. If I couldn't get an E90 flight I'd wait off until I could. Risky I know, but I was never let down. Oz deffo needs two airlines so I hope Virgin stays but whether it will remain the same is anyone's guess.


But really, it is academic these days if I don't fly.[bigsad]

I thought this was relevant for those looking for an early release from lockdown.

What’s that phrase they use “Freedom has a price”

The trouble is that those seeking their "Freedoms" during this corona virus epidemic are expecting others to pay the "Price" for them, Selfish Bastards[bigwhistle]

There was a really good opinion piece in yesterdays New York Times on how certain parts of the community have conflated '*freedom' with 'I can be a selfish **** and **** you'

I wonder how they'd go with total anarchy?[emoji848]
