Brief specifically stated that SSA CBR base will remain (even though the rumour mill has been saying it will close for a while now). Also states that EAA crew will operate the 400 under SSA AOC initially, and under SSA CAR 217.

With the information provided at present, the option for EAA pilots seems to be 400 ops with SYD Base, primarily SYD-CBR, 1-2 aircraft. Not sure if this is really something crew are going to jump on (although I suppose it's slightly better that SSA CBR base - look at how many people leapt at that opportunity!)

I wonder if they'll can overnights for these crew (EAA and SSA) given that they'll have home based crew in SYD and CBR. If that's the case, the extra money will disappear pretty quickly!
