I don’t think I mentioned before, but the main cause of the flight delays was MEL air traffic control being evacuated around 1800 AEDT.
@VirginAustralia No problem. It seemed like most passengers on VA883 understood.
@jturner_ibrs The flight was smooth and fast, once we actually got in the air. @VirginAustralia did well under annoying circumstances.

Hey @smperris, I have checked with the cabin crew boss. It was not wine flu, but a real thing.

Two plastic bags of, presumably, soiled cloths or seat coverings have been removed from the aircraft.
The Situation instagram.com/p/0Z1EvJiFuK/
A wheelchair is being brought to the aircraft.
@jturner_ibrs So far, nothing. For once it’s not my fault.
RT @smperris @stilgherrian Wine flu [Your theory fits the facts as I know them.]
A maintenance worker is approaching the aircraft carrying a mop.
Paramedics are approaching the aircraft.
We haven’t closed the doors yet. A passenger has “fallen ill” and an ambulance is en route.
@jturner_ibrs Well aren’t you an arsehole.
@jturner_ibrs I’ve just boarded. Roughly one hour late.

OH: “So I think I need to make a deal with myself mentally and accept the facts.”
Yes, @glengyron, Google has slightly less wrong data. It’s still significantly wrong though.
Neither Melbourne Airport’s nor Virgin Australia’s websites are showing up-to-date flight information. Useful∗.
Disgruntled.
@AbstractCode Well, if that sensible transport policy is “having an aircraft”, then yes.
I think I have defeated surveillance by tweeting the wrong flight number. They’ll never figure it out now.
We are delayed 25 minutes, I am advised.

I don’t know that I want a warrant for everyone, but I do have a list of people who should be the subject of warrants. And it grows daily.
I have four interviews to do in the next two and a half hours. I probably won’t be tweeting much, since the three of them are back-to-back.

jpwarren New interruptive tech (like IM) is left for people to just figure out by themselves. Like email. Which has worked so well so far. #CLMel
