Is MEL the least popular of the L/H bases ? And why ?
Also what about the s/h to l/h tsfr agreement ? I wonder if the AO crew would 'push in line ' as you say in front of this list ?
Could they keep the AO crew on their existing agreements and cross crew the aircraft in order to put the crew in BNE/SYD/MEL bases ? That way QF are avoiding integration.
