I know this sounds synical but given the current environment with QF and their Pilots, could this route be a ploy by AJ to bait the pilots to call fatigue in NOU? Therefore overnight the aircraft there costing the company money in accom and associated costs and then going to the press saying that this is an AIPA tactic to help them get their "massive 200k p/year payrise" which is a fabricated number as has been discussed in other forums. Maybe i am watching too much of the X-files...
