Jq 440,437,711,712

[Kain C]

Three questions:

Does anybody know why JQ440/437/711/712 appear on the JQ website but not the QF website?
Are there any other "missing" flights?
Are they operated by A320 or A321?

Thanks in advance :)

What routes do those flight numbers operate on?

Hi Kain, Basically they scheduled a few flights but had no Aircraft to FLY IT!
Its all a bit off a ***** up, apparently it was an error and flights were loaded into the wrong month! caused a huge amount of confusion!

EDIT: oh my g o d i typed B.A.L.L.S up and it censors it LOL

[Kain C]

But the services have been operating (some of them quite delayed), so where did JQ find the aircraft to operate them (spares?). Also, as these flights appear in the JQ system up until the end of April, will the remaining services be cancelled?

[Greg F]

I know 711 & 712 used an aircraft from LST........ that's why the massive delay

[Kain C]

Thanks Greg, so 711 and 712 would be A320 then.

[Greg F]

yup 320 indeed, as for May onwards (schedules)... who knows.... its all a schamozzle atm :confused::confused:

[Kain C]

Yes, it does sound like a schamozzle atm. Loads seem very good for flights that weren't meant to exist (going by JQ website). Maybe JQ is underestimating HBA. They should bring back the HBA-BNE service for starters!!!

[Greg F]

They should have not s c r e w e d the Ground and flight crew @ Hobart too :rolleyes: My dad is (soon to be WAS) a PSM @ HBA.......

[Greg F]

there was no a/c to operate 711 & 712 at the 'advertised' scheduled time

[Greg F]

I think the problem has been fixed now. but at the start of April they were told that JQ711 & 712 will be 2hrs 15mins late, due to no free aircraft for that sector. they then realized that it wasnt a 'one off' schedule change and that 711 & 712 would be 'at least' 2.5hrs late EACH day... but they have 'resolved' this now to my knowledge...

[Kain C]

but they have 'resolved' this now to my knowledge...

Well, clearly it has been resolved, since the flights now appear on the QF website.
