QF Domestic has been carrying International for most of their post privitisation existence. A lot of government backed charters, travel bubbles will pop up over the next year or so providing work for 787s and 330s and then it's only really the 380s that'll be on the ground for a substantial time. Government providing wage subsidies and refresher training costs for international crew.

Domestic is always the money spinner, and fact is for Rex they can't make money if domestically they're barely carrying any pax....
