lol after holding it in for awhile i got a confession to make

I work for Jetstar

Been in their customer call centre for about 3 months now and i tell you - they are a bunch of cheap skates. The only reason their airfares are so cheap is beacuse they have strict-ass policies on everything. No compassion or remorse for those flying due to death or family reasons. Its a bit of a hard job especially when ppl call up urgently needing to cancel/book flights due to deaths and we get told we can't help them. My first bit of advice given was to leave my heart at the door.

Also, i've never known of an airline that has so many schedule changes and cancellations with their flights.

These delays pale into insignificance to what I once endured.

Airr New Guinea isn't nown for reliability.

Delayed in Syd for 4 hrs, then delayed inn Brisbane for 3 days (no, that's not a typo) Plane was due to fly @ 6am on day 3. Arrived and was delayed until 18:30 that night!

We got owned!

Omurru your probably right bout the jstar asia 320s being the same age....

So where do you work? Qantas hangers? Im always down there hasselling engineers on when the planes are gonna be towed up to the gate!

Jetstar suck ass! was flying back from whitsundays to melb via brissie. we had a 3 hr stopover in brissie before boarding a qantas flight. but jetstar being the morons they are, we were 4 hrs late and missed the qantas flight. jetstar wouldnt pay for anything. no free food or drinks on the flight. no taxi vouchers at brissie, no hotel room for the night. nothing! PEOPLE, STAY AWAY FROM JETSTAR!

Qantas FTW!

last few months I have been working up at the terminal at qantas domestic. But as of tomorrow I am back to the workshops :P most of the time i'm in the main qantas 737 hangar though. The jetstar 320's get done by aaes or whatever the f**k it's called now, john holland or something. Went for a drive over there the other day to have a look around, it's like a boneyard over there random planes all over the joint missing bits :P

    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
