Splash and dash apparently - strong headwinds at the moment (maybe a crew change required as well)

Thanks for that.

VH-OQF just went over my house as QF6007 so that will be it. I wonder if they had already put PAX onto domestic flights or made them wait until now?

All,

A fuel pick up problem (mechanical) was the cause for the diversion. A/C is currently (16.28 AEDT) climbing out of BNE as QF6007. Not sure if she has the passengers on board or not.

With a flight number in that range, you can be sure it's non-revenue. That is, nil passengers.
