Hiya Bird Strike
I guess you make the apology because I have seen in other forums pprune-ers have a habit of pouncing on each other immediately?
As far as foreign international airlines having Cabin Crew bases in Australia is concerned, I am not sure of many (any?) that do?? Lauda (now Austrian) used to have a fairly small sydney base, but I believe that has closed down... Sorry I am not being helpful but I am really not aware of any!
Anyone else got any suggestions?
