Scurrah was already on the way to reshaping VA domestic closer to it's birth roots by withdrawing out of unprofitable Short Haul International and Domestic Regional Routes, drawing down Tiger (before COVID-19 sped up its demise) plus slowly unbundling VA Economy (and to some extent cutting down Domestic Business) on all routes except Perth.
International was being basically reduced to mainly East Coast-LAX (the only destination out of the VA international network that was earning money for a largely loss making international division overall) with a single HND, and a medium term plan to reduce and simply the wide-body fleet to 1 type (replacing the 77Ws and A330s),
Since COVID-19, all those initial plans had since been thrown out the window.
