Most of the Virgin HM is still done in NZ. I think though Romulus the thrust of your point here is correct. Any airline can take a plane half way around the world if they like to get a light bulb changed. My point though is that the JHAS activities are predominently tasks that are practically unable to be sent offshore (like overnight or short checks). If you did you would be pi$$ing money up against a wall, so yes it may be something Qantas would consider.
