Zilch, I think in your hypothetical scenario, to separate the two LH fleets is not the intent. They would be the "external" operation for mine, and as long as we have just two 777s, we'll never see that threshold met. (The cynic in me would say - what a great reason to hang on to an otherwise inefficient fleet of 2+1 spare...)
Anyone know what the Bus is doing average roster-wise at the moment? I'd be surprised if that was over 60, if it is, beyond school hols it's not going to be a 3 month thing.
Make no mistake - this is a restructure, there'll be no appetite to be increasing pilot numbers.
