Future of Melbourne LH Base?
As fascinating as the current conversation is, I thought I might try to discuss a rumour surfacing. The last time I asked this one I got growled at, but here we go again....
How secure is the future of MEL LH Base? I ask this question based on the following 3 observations.
Firstly, no manager appointed for MEL LH in the recent swapping of deck chairs in the management transit lounge.
Secondly, with the recent publication of pattern books for BP 250, flying for CFA's reduced by over 70%.
Thirdly, allocations have offered a significant number of tempoary base transfers to SYD for MEL crew across CFA and AC categories. This, after only a few months ago trying to encourage (...or con), people to transfer to MEL.
So, is this PER LH all over again? Does it fit in with future plans for AO crew? If anything, it's odd to say the least. Any thoughts?
