330/340 shoveled metaphorical manure doing night turnarounds that 777 has now had to take up. The 350 will likely have some turns, if for no other reason than line checks, but it should be the darling of the fleet, at least for a while, and get some good destinations as well as trips that are just work.

Makes sense since there supposedly won't be curfew or flight caps

5strypes.

no expansion at all. there hasnt been a single frame added to the fleet since airbus closed the 380 assembly line in 2021. needless to mention the ones being scraped to make keychains. 2 or 3 77 freighters if thats called expansion and some 300ers returned to the lessor.
350 likely to join them soon but not in large numbers intially, more like filling the gaps of the retirees and boeing delays.

Apologies, perhaps I was using the term expansion too liberally. But there are huge numbers joining and as you say 350s in the pipeline.

Lots of guys not going on the 350 as routes will be bad. Would love to have a go though

Airspace and now rain. Why does this stuff always happen before bonus announcements?

G'day Don.

It shows the management the incredible resilience of the entire company under extremely challenging conditions and perhaps adds a few more weeks to the bonus as an extra thank-you from the 9th Floor. Let's see.

Exactly! That does seem like the most obvious thing. A very good ploy for pay raises later on perhaps? Anyone got the number of that cloud seeding fella?

HEAVY RAIN!!!

Hope everyone is ok with the rain and all. Does this mean they won’t give the bonus and step again.

How it looks from outside:

It rains ——> i guess they will raise our salary
there is a cloud in the sky ————> they need to give us a bonus
a person smiling in Cambodia ———-> now they have no excuse , i am expecting a 30% salary raise
sunny ——> if they expect us to work in this condition, they better give us a huge bonus
A mosquito in the neighbour’s house ——-> that’s it! If they won’t give us a 3243434324% basic pay raise i am out of here

do you actually read what you write?

Watching ek crew swimming into to work waist high in water with a floating suitcase , terrified of a disciplinary if they didn’t get , quite frankly utterly ridiculous. Only in Dubai , as they say
