You say it like it is nothing, just chuck 12 A320's over into OZ, I am sure there is enough money in the spare change jar to start quite a significant overseas operation at the drop of a hat. It will be really cheap to just employ 120 ish flight crew, 300 cabin crew or do you propose to have 24 full crews night stopping every night in Australia on full Air NZ terms and conditions. Would local pilots allow a foreign operator to base aircraft there but use NZ based crews or are you suggesting an Australian based employer like Jetstar does in NZ, this was only attractive to Jetstar as NZ crews are cheaper than EBA crews, the same wouldn't be true the other way around. Not to mention this is such a great time to be investing tens of millions in a satellite operation that may or may not be profitable.
