Discuss what you need here that doesn't fit into other sections.

If a subject being discussed gets big, we will make new topic.

Qatar will be heading to Perth in approximately two months - CEO did a little slip of the tongue! China Southern flights at the moment are heavily booked with respectable loads, especially the front of the cabin!

Ok the rumors belong over at PPrune

This is what has been published at the time of printing.

When something different is announced by the airline, then we will go with that, but for now, rumors are rumors, until proven otherwise.

Ah that really sucks :( Just like the shuttle, I am a real fan. They just don't make things in that raw power to move mass way anymore.
