So Townsville-Mackay will end on the 1st Jan 2010, and the new northern route services will not commence 'till Jan 31st? Should be a nice little holiday for the 3 TL based Captains.
Not sure whether the assigned TL F/O's are even on base yet. If not, then line training in the southeren states maybe, or perhaps some shuttleing back and forth.
If you guys (TL based F/O's) have been assigned, make sure you check with the union to make sure you are not disavantaged regarding accomodation/DTA if you are forced to train away from your home base.
Logistical nightmare!
