OK so that was June and on-time performance may have been affected slightly by the weather. We are now in August and on-time performance is still poor.
Interesting while waiting for the flight to board last night the FA mentioned that the delay was due to BNE air traffic control not allowing them to land. I did mention to her that the original delay had nothing to do with BNE air traffic control and the same flight + plus many others have had delays for at least the last 3 weeks.
Anyway completed boarding around an hour late and short taxis both in BNE and SYD and with some time made up during the flight we only landed 36 minutes late. Not bad in the end but makes for a very long day when you are up at 6:30am....
Vote with your feet then. If it's really that important to get away quicker and DJ is doing so, then spend the few extra $ (if that's the case) and fly with them.

well on a lighter note i am traveling to BBK next Tuesday and QF can be as late as they like. OK I want to at least leave before curfew hits at 11pm, as it means more time in the F lounge thank you very much...
Didn't know QF flew to central Africa.

No viable alternative on SYD-BNE are you kidding? You wouldn't sit on a Virgin Blue flight for a whole hour and 25 minutes to send Qantas the message that 8 flights in a row delayed more than 20 minutes is not good enough?
Not sure what to make of the DJ on-tme performance figures either. As Friday is the day I am interested in flying then lets look at yesterday 22/8/2008.
DJ236 BNE-SYD departed 14:00 arrived 16:00, 30 minutes late
DJ242 BNE-SYD departed 15:45 arrived 17:25, 55 minutes late
DJ246 BNE-SYD departed 17:05 arrived 18:30, 60 minutes late
DJ254 BNE-SYD departed 18:45 arrived 20:25, 85 minutes late
These figures are from the DJ website and I ran out of time to get the remainder of the flights for the night. I think you get the general idea how late DJ flights to SYD were on Friday night.
History disappears very quickly for arrival information from most websites. I would really be interested in seeing the figures for 22/8/2008 of the last 6 DJ flights BNE-SYD for the night. These are DJ260, DJ256, DJ258, DJ262, DJ266 and DJ272. Did any of these get cancelled as they were likely to miss the curfew?

I tried FlightStats first before going to the DJ website. It would appear that FlightStats does not display accurate information for most DJ flights. Anyway most websites only have individual flight history for the previous day.

I have also noticed delays from SYD on a Sunday afternoon.

Returned from Bangkok to Sydney today.
Yesterday I just had a whim and swapped from QF2 to BA09
(Qantas metal to BA metal). Actually I think the new BA World Traveller cabin has a better seat than the Qantas Skybed.
Lucky I did (the Thai would say its Karma) as the QF2 flight took off
9 hours late from Bangkok while the BA plane was exactly on time.
Lots of people checking in for QF metal aircraft were being moved to EK,
which is not OneWorld so must have been costing QF a bomb.
Curiously flying to Bangkok a week ago, the same thing happened, but in that case QF (to their credit) actually moved me from QF1 to QF301 (again the BA codeshare) a day before the flight.

You must be kidding here surely. I have never heard anyone else suggest that BA Economy is better than QF Business before. QF Business is hardly the best business class, but even so, far better than any economy I've used

Can't see that not being part of OW will have made a difference to the cost to QF tbh

Surely you mean BA Club World Even then a lot of people would disagree though Mk 2 is better if you are tall.
to that comment.
