Brisbane base, with its one duty four nights a week, has three or four crews (it’s fluid and I’m out of touch), you do the math!
On the other hand, the freight flying exists solely because the 146 is allowed into Sydney during curfew. The curfew act explicitly states that this dispensation finishes when Badgerys Creek opens. By all means have a crack at it, but you might be better off in Adelaide where they do a bit of mining charter as well the freight. You may even get to fly a Dash 8 400!
