They operated a grand total of 19 flights on their "domestic" network today and everything was done, dusted and finished for the day by 1500.
How's that work?
MLM added 6 extra daily movements
SYD - BNE was 2 now 3
SYD - MEL was 3 now 5
SYD - OOL unchanged 1
MEL - BNE unchanged 2
MEL - OOL unchanged 1
MEL - CBR unchanged 1
MEL - ADL unchanged 2
Now 30 movements per day with a bit of down time on weekends
As they don't have a fleet of like 70 one would assume there is a bit of give in their schedule too pull one out as a back up, good for them....
I'm sure they are tempted to put on another 2-4 daily sectors, but that could backfire if one went tech or weather delayed
That said, as predicted, looks like ADL - PER is next with NJE 190s between FIFO ops and more 738s on the way
