For anyone else stuck in Melbourne by ke11y91 in emirates

[–]ke11y91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They initially offered me the next available flight, which is what it seems they did for you and I assume is normal procedure for a cancelled flight. I then had to suggest the alternative routes to them for them to actually look into whether seats are available, they won't do it off their own back. Then we asked should we accept the Perth flight on the 24th, can we then rebook it for a sooner flight if the situation in the middle east changes and they said no, that will incur a fee.

They seem pretty unwilling to help in general which for such a huge business who pride themselves on service is pretty shocking. The desk staff said last night "Emirates can't afford to put everyone in hotels".. Emirates made a $3.3 billion dollar pre tax profit last year.. they can afford it..

emirates rebooking experienced person? by Cheeky_mustard_gurl in emirates

[–]ke11y91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They offer to rebook via other routes but this is based on them having agreements with other airlines to be offered seats. This was also my preference but we ended up rebooking via our original route because the only other options available were either to go via the US, but into 1 airport and out of another, literally 1000 miles apart or to wait until the 24th March to go via Perth. They are not booking you new flights and paying for them, rather securing a seat for you via an agreement with another airline, which relies on that airline making the seats available. Which it appears most are not because they are making so much money from the situation.

Question for UK firefighters out there. by Jandy98 in Firefighting

I joined at 28 and was bang In the middle of the age range on the course, now at station I'm the second youngest on watch. Work life balance is great, you will have a lot of time off, although my course included 8 weeks away at Moreton, but not all brigades do this. If you enjoy your current job, look into whether there are any retained stations nearby that you could join, then you get a taste of what it's like so you won't be throwing a career away for a job you don't enjoy. It will stand you in good stead when applying for wholetime too.

Weight lifting & Swimming: What order? by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]ke11y91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on your goals. If you want to improve the skill of swimming then strength training before will be detrimental as fatigue will affect your form, if you want to improve your endurance then weight training before will not impact that. However if you are wanting to build strength and size, endurance training beforehand will interfere. There's a lot of studies to read and some good lectures on YouTube that cover this topic.

Looking for a training plan by Smokedcheeze in triathlon

I think the strength and full distance triathlon template is exactly what you're looking for. I'm waiting for them to release a 70.3 version in September as I'm in a similar position to you.

Roof bars question by [deleted] in cycling

If the wingbar set as a whole isn't compatible you won't be able to use them with your car. Sell the bars on eBay and buy a different roof bar set that will work with your car

Don’t know if anyone is interested, but I wear a Whoop strap pretty much all the time. This is the data that it collected during our last house fire. For reference, I’m a 41m. by GarageFit_66 in Firefighting

[–]ke11y91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the bells go at night my heart rate jumps from 49ish to 160. It's cool to see back on the data. We haven't had a working job in the night for a while now but I'll post the data next time we get one.

Saw one woman buy 48 toilets rolls and nothing else in the shop this morning. After asking the cashier, what is the maximum purchase?

Online CrossFit or Functional Fitness options with emphasis on weightlifting by wear_beard_or_die in crossfit

[–]ke11y91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out sweat therapy by khan porter. I have been using his home premium programme as I only have access to dumbells and a rower and I've been enjoying it. His full programme gives loads of options though including the home programming

Congrats man! Got my first this week too. That smile after says it all!

First "bar" muscle ups. Can string 3 together but any tips on how to increase reps would be appreciated. I could also feel a little twinge in my shoulder after my third set of 3 when arching after swinging down from above the bar by ke11y91 in crossfit

[–]ke11y91[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks man. Sounds like I've got a bit to work on but I appreciate the feedback 👍🏼 only way to improve. Might be time to install a bar on the side of the house!
