OK, I'll bite.

So CX has been in negotiations for months, even described by themselves as 'cordial', over the Australian Enterprise Bargaining Agreement; the double taxation debacle is sort of under control, and rumour has it that they are building another hotel to supplement the Headland...yet they are closing 'AUS Base' (sic), one of the largest base areas in the company , which is also a carrot to suck in new joiners in the absence of decent pay and conditions, additional to the Big Shiny Jets.

However, I too have heard that Perth is under the spotlight, maybe you meant an AUS base, even then it may be debatable under Aussie law whether they can close the base while CX still operates to it, without significant redundancy packages.

Or maybe it's just schadenfreude on your part, in which case the only thing we have to 'look out' for is stirrers like you!
