Am happy to be corrected but do they own the old Ansett IOC & TT Ops Centre? If so, it makes perfect sense. A reduced operation that could, in all likelihood mirror the size of TT's operation would suit these buildings. 2x maintenance hangars attached & access to the old Bae Hangar and, of course, MJB. A fresh start, via Administration, would give them the opportunity to renegotiate Awards etc, IF it becomes a new entity. There's a whole bunch of people in MEL that ran TT who'd be willing to sign on I imagine.

What I'm unaware of is how invested in their BNE properties they are. Anyone care to enlighten?
