which airline?

Virgin

I rate over Qantas, especially the entertainment system...though Qantas had scrambled eggs and hash browns for breakfast on one flight, and that's a win.

Unrelated, boss's sister is a flight attendant with Qantas and apparently airline staff hate FIFOs #@Rekin cause they just keep asking for more beer and treating them like shit...

yeah each airline has pros and cons.

I used to fly virgin, but were never on time, 2 years straight of flyign every 2 weeks to syd and never arrive on time.

when I changed roles to a customer facing one and had to be on time moved to qantas they more keen to put the pedal down if running late.

most of my friends who are serious flyers paying for it themselves are on virgin however, (easier to get status if nothing else)

but if you flying Intl often,and can get status..qantas is def your friend.

Can be better than business class stuck in their individual seats :)

Though you would have needed some leg fold surely

Captain just said 40 on this A330 including business class bahahah

Only someone who hasn't been in business class would say that.

So employee is annoyed because they have to do their job and not talk shit with their mates? Not like the beer comes from their pocket.

Difference with frequent flyers is that there is no longer a guilt asking for something when in actual fact it's their job to serve.

Usually happens due to running lean at idle as I found out last night, then again today with Greg's car. ;)Cams would make it much more pronounced.

You got widebands fitted guys? Why the hell not?

Interesting.

That's actually the last piece of the puzzle I need to obtain before I put all my mods in.

If anything I'm probably a bit rich atm... flames pls.

matter of interest what the difference between say me and the stereotype FIFO?

You don't seem like a bogan Neanderthal so could be that

Obviously not allll FIFO are bad but it's likely an 80/20 scenario

Just cos it's someone's job to 'serve' does not make them a slave and common courtesy should always apply

Employee annoyed cos FIFO bogans hitting on attendants, talking rudely to em and treating them like slaves. There to serve, but a bit of manners goes a long way.

As Al said, not all FIFO gonna do it, but you can imagine some of the guys on flights and in business class or the lounges compared to the other clientele who frequent these spots.,,

Just bought a Wii U.

What is exams? What is money?

More like what is nintendo doing?

Dont mean to hate but the concept of that console is just so bizarre and makes no sense. You could throw all the IPs in the world at it and every game would feel like some iOS spin-off of the actual game. How you finding the tablet?

Nintendo survived as they are virtually unchallenged in their target market.

When sony and microsoft entered the gaming world, rather than try to be the 3rd option, Nintendo re-doubled their efforts with kids games and came up trumps.

No he didn't, you just got butthurt cos he was talkin smack about your scumbag bogan tradie brothers

lol @ your cheap shot, i'll bite anyways.

two points were made by Birds in his original response;

1. Serving a lot of beer - Its not coming out of their pockets & its part of their job requirement to serve, so how is that an issue? (Unless all they want to do is have an easy ride/shift)

2. Treating them rude - no disagrement here, not acceptable at any time.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
