http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...ectid=11799517 Interesting difference between how passengers from each airline were treated. Jetstar's back up and so called service standards turning into a fiasco...that's something "new" isn't it !
Sure although you try to not hack off your frequent, high value clients/customers in any business I'm involved with:)
Robomo, as frequently flyer, can't relate to that timing at all, also bags coming out are more determine by the number of flights landing concurrently...
Gee, people need to just accept they have the flight options they have because AIR is a business just like others and no doubt balance out the will to keep regulars happy and the bottom line.
The whinny people can go fly Jetstar and really have something to winge about, suck it up cupcake!!
I've flown the ATR 600 heaps of times to Napier which at 217 miles is longer than the sector we're debating. Its a huge step up from the old Fokker F27 Friendship days and vastly quicker than the old DC3 flights I remember.
I think they're a thoroughly modern turboprop and actually prefer seeing the view from 16,000 feet than about 35000 feet in an A320. The only criticism I can think of is the seats are a bit hard. I kind of like the whole turboprop thing getting a whiff of aviation fuel in your nostrils as you walk out on the tarmac.
Still inappropriate.
We live in a polite ,respectful country.
Have in-laws from the states staying with us-atm touring the country and spending lots us dollars.
I felt proud when they commentated how polite people were-starting at customs.
They wondered why we had no intention of visiting the states!
