Cebu is the main operator of the A330NEO into my home port, with Air Calin number two. But there are dozens of operators of A330CEO where 9 or so hours is the max stage length theyll ever do, and where a replacement of old RB211 powered CEOs with NEOs makes sense.

I am one,and even there the tastes seem very narrow. I will also admit that I enjoy Silly Love Songs, and that McCartney was a fine songwriter 40-60 years ago.
Qantas also came close with passenger versions, having flown -100, -200 (but not SUD), SP, 300, 400 and was the only operator of the 400ER
Jump to post2014 Volvo XC60 D5. It's the longest I've held onto a car since I've had a licence. The infotainment is lagging a bit, and a few little glitches here and there, but otherwise well up to long trips and a bit of gravel.

Jump to postWe spent early January in the Lamington National Park (Binna Burra) - I always prefer it over the actual Gokd Coat (apart from Burleigh Heads). I personally much prefer the Sunshine Coast.
But Sydney beaches are just as good as the southern Qld beaches for the most part.
Speaking of that timeframe in early December - is that a decent time to be coming weather wise? It will be really hot (hot and humid in Brisbane), or surpisingly cool for the beginning of summer in Sydney and Melbourne (like 70F max). Rarely in-between :) I wouldn't say its the best time to visit, ...
Jump to postI like Brisbane too, but would say that Sydney and Melbourne are the most alike culturally. Like Melbourne, Brisbane is a river city but, unlike Melbourne, it’s tropical.

Jump to postIt’s interesting that the Libera party strongly supported the Voice to parliament under previous leaderships, but the current leadership feels its best political option is division.
It’s little wonder that their support is so low when they are willing to put theme selves before society.

Jump to postI could give kudos as well to Andrew Loyd Webber As a composer, yes probably. As a lyricist, I think we hit the McCartney conundrum.
