Yes, the pieces will be left to be picked up when the aircraft comes back. As has been the case since aircraft were maintained outside of QANTAS.
and the job numbers will go down to a department in Australia making them look inefficient. The real cost of the reconfig never recorded against the Asian facility.
This is the whole story of how International operations are made to look inefficient. All costs placed against it, made to look like it's in a sorry state (sorrier than it really is) and then reduce it to next to nothing so as to make JQ look good and take over QF's routes, when in fact it's QF carrying the load of the overseas facilities and JQ.
