mess at SYD today due to winds

so there are surely lots of flights out of SYD today that will be cancelled due to only 1 active runway.

Surely all Rex, some Qantaslink(Dash 8-100, -200, -300s), some ATRs & any smaller domestic aircraft should be moved to Bankstown today. Buses could run between airports(takes roughly 40 mins). Not ideal, but must be better than getting stuck at SYD all day, with chance of not going anywhere ?

Don't think security would be required for any of above.

For a start look at routes that say Rex & Qantas fly. By working together these 2 airlines could get people where they wanted to go much faster which is the name of the game.

Dubbo & Albury come to mind.

eg. Qantas could take Rex pax to SYD who have connections. Rex could take Qantas pax to Bankstown who don't have connections at SYD. Some might actually prefer to go to Bankstown as might be closer to where they are heading.

SYD curfew will surely mean many flights won't be able to take off before 2300 & so will be cancelled otherwise.
