So after all that drama (and despite clearing quarantine) they still can’t be used as crew for the way home!!!

Does this start to make sense why EK are pulling out of the east coast? It’s not a simple exercise when you are now talking about the entire crew being removed, plus not even able to operate home.
No different for Qantas mate. You’re showing your true colours though. See how’d you go in Hong Kong. Same rules apply.
