First time experience the first revenue flight of a brand new aircraft VH VGT Jetstar Airbus 320. Had the pleasure this morning like being in a brand new car the smell of the leather and all the new non dog earred reading material.
Only minor complaint don't go looking for the seat recline button there ain't one. Had a look at the cockpit also looks different to earlier models??.
Landing was smooth as silk in Adelaide and when spoke to the younger looking captain he pointed to first officer who first flew what he referred to as diesel 9's and all manner of boeings with Ansett and other US operators.
In all an interesting morning although for Jetstar not much revenue load looked to be around 25%.
