”paying for the aircrafts” ???? well they are the same shareholders, so it’s going from 1 spreadsheet to another. Really not a big issue.
at the end of the day the freight business is VERY profitable for QF……QF freight can’t even manage the volume and has to subcontract to Cobham, Air Nauru, Airwork and Atlas Air.
If EFA is so massively profitable then why doesn’t it buy, off its own bat, two more aircraft rather then taking mainlines ?
VA have A330s still on the Australian register. Buyers market I would have thought.
If it’s so simple to transfer aircraft as you say then why not just transfer pilots ? Yes there is a pay difference but guys and girls might look at the option of being fully stood up the whole time and being part of a successful and growing operation and decide it’s a better career deal then mainline
