Romulus,
Since Mel will be your new Maint Hub. Are you guys looking to pick up 3rd party work in the International line Maint, arena in Melbourne as well. Have you researched your competition your up against apart from QF
once you have established ie, Cathay Pacific, AMSA/SIA, Emirates Engineering. All with Extreme low cost base and high output.
Yes on all coutns, the problem for the other guys is that they need volume to occupy the guys or costs get driven up. If you employ somebody 8 hours a day and they look after 3 aircraft visits then you have a lot of unproductive time. If you've got a hangar where they can fill in the extra hours then you have a competitive advantage as you don't have the charge for all the downtime.
Given the way were structured we think we can take good advantage of that and win teh work.
Of course, as Wingers puts it, I can't win. SO perhaps I won't be able to....
