I think OD is referring to Virgin Airlines a lot of a shemozzlw.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
