Sure it is great that the resources industry is still going but FIFO pax is a meaningless number , the numbers that matter are RPT pax & RPT psk, and June said 380k down from 5000 k previous June
If you only knew the money to be made in resource industry flying mate you wouldn't be making that comment......
The resource guys (especially BHP) are starting to mandate that if FIFO to a facility in state X you must reside in state X, so the end of interstate & international FIFO
, so that is a permanent hit to RPT which won't come back. Okay maybe only a very small % of pre-Covid loads, but it all adds up & much more impact in a smaller post Covid environment
As has been explained before that's temporary whilst the border restrictions in force. Once the border restrictions are removed it would be unconstitutional under s117 to require that condition of employment, under the same principle that you can't deny employment in Coolangatta, Qld to some who resides a 2 min drive away in Tweed Heads, NSW.
Why are there so many trolls here who repeat this debunked nonsense to get a rise out of people at such a time?
