The word is they want 767 LAMEs , I do believe they are trying to get staff in to accommodate A330s. No official word about MRTT or C checks yet ,but inside word is that they are coming..when is anybodys guess.
Outsourcing has caused no end of dramas with A330...JQ in HNL just one problem..A/C returned to MNL to have a few days work c/o to rectify problem..after it had already had a C check carried out.
Essentially I believe BNE will become QF engineerings main base ..lots of space for growth and a State government with incentives in place for future aviation growth. No curfews for A/C arrivals and departures. Time will tell I guess...
