Mentioned this before in the Network forum. I think all of you guys forget that a 1 hour delay is costing the likes of Minres, BHP, Rio, Fmg and Roy hill up to $1million per hour. Some argue but not enough pax... well Minres will be transporting 5000+ workers per week. It is far more cost effective to have 4 or 5 a319s sitting around than constant delays hours on end. I would not recommend this for smaller miners, but the larger producers will be watching Minres closely, hoping to get away from the Cluster f**k that is Network and Qantas in general. Qantas had their chance and they squandered it, as per f**king usual!
