Wrote this out yesterday and lost it when the forum died
haha you were on the hawaii flight, wanna know why it was delayed, cos the plane was f**ked it was sitting in our hangar most of last week, I think in the end it was 36hs late we had guys working on it non stop for the time it was past it's scheduled departure. I think in the end they cancelled one of the sydney-asia flights and flew that airplane down here to do the melbourne-hawaii run. thats the problem with jetstar, cos they only have a few planes if one f**ks up they got nothing to replace it with. Not sure of the exact problem with the bus though was something to do with a vibrating engine damaging components cos they are too tightass to change it.
Had an a320 to launceston i think the other night as well that went like 2hours late, we had to go give it a blo wjob (very technical term we use when the apu on an airplane is dead so you need to use an external machine to provide air to start the engines) had it all hooked up, flight was already like an hour late, started it up about to push out and they had to shut down to get a "distressed baby" off, which meant unloading baggage and us waiting around in the freezing cold for like 30 mins to start her up again. Though the chick sitting infront of the emergencey exit was hot, and I got a smile out of her too
