    Jetstar is Bogan 1, on account of a high percentage of those who fly are B-----. It also acts like one. Goes whenever and quite often decides half way through it cannot continue.

    A bit like all of us..

    Are you speaking from  experience or just not spoiling a good story with a mistruth OD. 

    I can only say in over 20 years of domestic travel I have never been redirected or had to stay over because of a fault with Jetstar. 

    I have I believe heard of some Jetstar International maybe two/three times  leaving air passengers in Asia over that period. But nothing like you are asserting. 

    As with most Airlines there has been a very small instance since Covid return of cancelled flights mainly due to lack of staff and Jetstar has experienced that which I was effected. Would be about once/ twice in 12 mths.

    But once again  your penchant for a completely negative tone seems to have overridden  and exaggerated the real truth again.

    I have over the same period travelled majorly with Tiger ( and Virgin) and it was never even what you assert Jetstar to be. Saved about $5000 with Tiger compared to Qantas prices also. 

    Cheaper Airlines flights are always more liable to have slip ups and whatever class of passenger mostly recognise  this when booking. 

    Maybe you expect Qantas pre Covid standards and service with Jetstar's lower prices.

    Then you are very lucky, I have had flights delayed 9 hours, flights cancelled. Numerous flights run 4-5 hours late. My daughter stuck in Bali for 3 days. No I don't expect the same as Qantas. I have had numerous flights on cheap airlines e.g. southwest and Scoot. The flights left on time and did not land half way through the flight. Why can't you accept that Jetstar is an airline that quite often cannot get the basics right. The only think they have done right in recent times is to not buy 737 max planes. Thank god the Irishman is leaving.

    Yep flights getting cancelled on way to Cairns airport after driving 100ks from Daintree with two other people is not funny.

    You must be a very lucky traveller.  

    I was going to say Jetstar not so much Bogan as Agricultural .... much of a muchness.  I would put Virgin as the better of the Cheap lot.

    That you've experienced enchanted services with little delays, cancellation and other frustrations ... I'm envious, truly

    All in all I concur with some, Joyce's departure is a good thing.

    Maybe the incoming might concentrate on running an airline... not a wine-selling,mortgage-broking insurance peddler.

     

    Oh yeah Go Dees

    Mentors, @Mincho Mania and @DeeZone?

    I'm imagining something nearer parents: he's arrived at his apparent destiny, has ANDREW D(emetriou/G)ILLON(McLachlan)!

    And speaking of Dill'n'Gill, the 'Front Bar' lads had them on for a grill last night. Bit of fun.

    In Thailand the Russians and Ukrainians are a hot mess. Theyre everywhere nowdays. Crime, mafia  numpties. Australians are mostly well behaved with the occassional bogan smashing up his room or vomiting on bargirls.

    British are in a league of their own. Young, old ,male female. Cant handle alcohol.

    Things can and do go terribly wrong if you screw up here.  Bali is probably more laid back..

    As for Dillon . Wait and see the 2024 fixture. If we get flicked to the Cattery and Norf in Tasmania then he's just another AFL exec who gives F all about MFC.

    Dillon's got a lot to prepare for:

    - 'Fixing' the AFL Fixture 

    - Letting thugs off 

    - Preaching head safety then p***ing it off

    - Smiling for the stupid cameras

    Goody,

    Lets hope under Dillon the fixture stays compromised, drafting stays compromised, umpiring stays compromised like in the last 5 mins of a premil we won't pay obvious free kicks becuse we wouldn't want to ruin the game aka we won't X team to win, stays, and oh how could i forget the tribunal and the boys clubs cluture so we can continue to milk the $$$

    My personal fav though is, lets change the time the GF is played so we can sell teh product more readily internationally, $$$$ for all [censored] the actual game.

    Go AFL.

    *** You might have guessed im a bit of a pessimist on the AFL and it's integrity. For example, lets preach popular social causes, but profit from gambling activities.... What a great bunch of leaders we have at the AFL, preach to the blind and hope no one asks questions.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
