Thanks, cannon man for your concise and informative reply...
I would surmise from your statements that despite what the gainsayers claim, they are probably on par with any other airline of that age - some good points, some bad, maybe different good and bad points to other airlines, but a balanced collection of both all the same.
As the French say,
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
I dearly wish that all of the ex-Ansett pilots still seeking employment could find same, and I personally don't like the probable reasons why some aren't getting a look in with DJ. There is no doubt they are missing out on some very good people (that is not a disparagement of those they have taken - some very good people there too.) But, as someone pointed out on another thread, it's their train set, they can build it with a different layout to what we would prefer, and will still work well enough.
We don't have to like it, we do have to accept it.
Cheers
