Hey come on now people.
After all the negative posts about another large Aussie airline outsourcing maintenance overseas let's at least acknowledge that jobs will be kept in Australia.
I think it's fantastic.
Where they put it is up to SACL and VB. The SYD airport issue as a whole is another topic all together.
On that however my two cents says knock down that hangar between parking area FOXTROT and DOM5 move Rex and tiger over there and make another finger in FOX. Move the DOM5 area to the fire station near threshold 16L. Build a area in the water between the two runways south of Txy L (Narita style) and put the fireies there which gives the quick access to both runways.
Turn Dom5 into a new terminal area or VB's maintenance area.

My two cents.
