Yes - so the changeover progresses.

The Dash 8 troops have had their operation and are now fully fledged Easternites, getting used to a bunch of brand new FAs.

The first of the Southern FAs are well into their QF school.

146 Drivers are in the process of training across to NJS system.

Operations is no more (hasn't been since end July) with the troops from there moving to variously QF CSO, Load control, Eastern Flt Ops or leaving the company.

Admin in MQL is slowly disappearing with mainly redundancies up there.

Engineering remains as a standalone company providing maintenance to Eastern, Sunstate.

It has been a pretty sad time with those remaining still trying to figure out how the current situation is better - it must all work out on someones speadsheet somewhere but ******ed if we can see it on the coalface.

As Cogwheel said, hopefully the powers that be have learned from this debacle and apply a little more forethought if they decide to tackle a Eastern/Sunnies merge, but I doubt it.
