It’s similar to how V/Line allocates emergency replacement buses.
They have a big list, and start calling the first one. If they can’t do it, they get bumped down the list and they call the next bus operator on the list, until they have a hit.
It’s much easier than having to track the availabilities of every operator.
Thoughts on the rumour that Costco Docklands is closing?
I kind of think it’s a good riddance. The inner city is ill suited for an automotive dependant single story superstore. It’s fun when a V/Line replacement coach gets stuck in the queue of drivers wanting to turn into Costco.
In Japan you have to head well out of the way to visit Costco. The only one in Tokyo is in Hachioji. Otherwise you have to visit Yokohama, Saitama or Chiba prefecture.
Meanwhile they are claiming to the ATSB that a flap issue in the 737-800 is non-safety critical, therefore a change in procedures is not needed.
It’s also going to be interesting seeing the root cause. Tool control is pretty strict in Aviation, and they will be able to identify the exact torque wrench that was meant to tighten up those bolts.
Yay, pick up the keys to the new unit today.
Fuck yeah, Carcass / TBDM tour just announced.
