Plenty of ground staff. What a laugh.
QF are currently getting just about everyone landslide off property but there will a phone number for the punters. Flight attendants already do most of the boarding pass scanning (now 4 of them on board). The ones running jet bridges are stretched as is. Your “plenty of staff” is 2 people at the airside service desk.

Add in outsourcing too with now one less person in each ramp team. Cleaners certainly won’t be ready and waiting at the plane anymore.

QF is going to kiss goodbye any hopes of hitting 35 minute turnarounds should they become necessary.

Wasn’t VA having issues with U/S staff and cancellations only a few weeks?

Absurd to think Rex won’t be able to match the piss poor performance of the incumbents.
