One result of j* "expansion" of its crew bases is to increase the AIPA membership amongst j* pilots. The AFAP have done nothing to stop this. Its not just the A320 crews but the A330 crews as well who will be required to got to Cairns and SEQ. This relocation has nothing to do with the current economic climate and everything to do with some flawed "Pan Asian" strategy. The last person to have a pan asian strategy was Tojo, and it didn't work then either.
