G'day Yusef, do I understand you correctly? Are you saying that the crew that fly up on Weds fly back on Thurs night? I would have thought a crew would need more than about 38 hours rest?
Equally that's got to be the longest down time of any operating aircraft in the world (absolutely no evidence to base that on...but surely). Would have thought they may have been able to chuck a coast to coast return in just for the sake of it...of course that means more crews and costs etc. If they can make LAX - NYC why not similar in Canada.
Nonetheless, was very surprised to read this and very happy also. Should book a trip to Vancouver just for the sake of it. Well done QANTAS.
Cheers
