So unless they’re changing plans on what’s happening beyond 2/3 years the current numbers apply. If there’s any interim change in requirements domestically then stand downs will manage that problem, and no further surplus is forecast. I don’t think anyone expects domestic travel restrictions to exist in 2 years.
4-6 months after full lockdowns other nations have resumed quite substantial parts of domestic networks, it will follow suit in Australia too.
I like your optimism. International we already know they won’t be going for a long time. My concern is these latest restriction into QLD with no known easing how will that affect the 3yr plan on domestic crew number.
At least with the latest out of Victoria they have given a date wether they can stick to it remains to be seen.
