As a Sydney based Pilot, I’m waiting the stand down! It is a bump in the road as long as the rest of the country is open the effects on other bases will be there but not total stand downs. If I get a 2 month stand down well that’s how it is but the business is earning money and we will all have something to go back to.
Anyone else who is in Sydney with the scaremongering others had spread that domestic will be dead for a long time, zoom will be the new way etc welll there has been plenty of travelers and a tonne of business people.
