Speculation Only.August 23. A slow or (fast?)transition to the Asian hubs for QF International. All Int heavy maint/minor maint performed os (380 and "the game changer") (after 744 retired).Sydney Base wound down and all oz ports become line stops only for the "feeder a/c". Excess engineering staff from Int and "Lame on Demand" to support Dom o/night servicing.White collar airline support staff numbers reduced dramatically, management numbers reduced dramatically, income tax revenue reduced dramatically, aussie jobs reduced dramatically, exec bonuses thru the roof, a plan hatched well before Joyce.The original rat dies a painfull death in the asian playground.Virgin goes gangbusters with better product.Jester loses its support system and oil prices go up.Comments?
