I remember when all those other Airlines had Aircraft operating here some time ago, I think it was about 1989
, some of those Pilots could not believe how long it took to turnround their Aircraft in Australia.
They were used to around 15-20 minute turnrounds.
Mind you, there is NO way I would like to see the standards that some of them operated to becoming the norm in Australia.
OBVIOUSLY the Airlines want their Aircraft in the air earning money, NOT sitting on the ground half the day, but some of these turnrounds are getting back to what these foreign Crews wanted in 1989, I truly believe 30 minutes is about the minimum to do it safely, WHATEVER Airline we are talking about.
