It's not rocket science what they want.
The tally so far
3 Heavy Maintenance Bases into 1 - Winner = Brisbane Heavy Maintenance
MOD for 'new' gen aircraft - Winner = Qantas
Next on the chopping block
1. Less LAME's on the tarmac
2. Cat A's filling those shoes
3. QDS my guess is Qantas will decide its not a 'core' business. Like all non core businesses lately, have a guess.
4. Another guess is that currently minimally manned ports TSV/ASP etc would be in their sights as well.
5. Rampies to do receipt / dispatch which will mean less engineering staff
There is quite a few guys who do want the VR so it will be good news for some.
