Save $1 today that costs $10 tomorrow.
All the ex Perth crew still have right of return (don't know how long for) and the base would probably go rather senior.
how is it terrible for everyone? I very much doubt they will open it anytime soon if ever. There is no need for a tech crew base if they got the number up on the east coast. However, they need a cabin crew base there soon rather than later.
