Thus the strategy was to link Network and Alliance.
IFF Airnorth remains a weakened position then the entity can chip away at the centre corridor.
The strategy is to use the A320 ex-JQ, by pass the Qantas 'mainline' contract and establish coast to coast subsidiary operations.
It is complemented with the Stream Lead's (the former AIPA President) pivotal role in IR. As part of the brief, the original concept was to demonstrate a shortage exists (due poor remuneration) and expand the 'beach head'
It is well known these entities are struggling for pilot supply. With the re-election of the idiots in Canberra, they are likely emboldened that the IR environment is less hostile to the ambition.
Whether they have sufficient pilots is the Achilles heel.
Try they will.
As was stated earlier this week.
It begins.
