They are sticking to 10 aircraft, i imagine they need to utilise the 2-3 they dont use each day. They average 6-7 aircraft a day with the schedule. As per pay their EBA has been approved so it would be available for public view throu the federal wage website.
As for recruitment, they have good numbers in melbourne for now, i imagine the base, most likely options syd or bne would command maybe 2 or 3 of the planes sitting around in melbourne, more FO's as command upgrades are in the process...
does that help?
