As I'm hearing it from some of the guys they got told Heavy is finished.

40 redundancies in Heavy, plus some more in Line and Admin.

Virgin down to A330 and Wheels/Brakes
- probable pulling of contracts to get value down so they can buy the place for a rock bottom price

Jetstar - contract terminated at end of year.

Tiger - gone to a crew who want to win RAAF work on civilian platforms

Qantas - never gave JHAS a lot of work, rather unlikely to now as they have been trying to get JHAS on board for a fair while but JHAS couldn't put the right package together.

Shame really, it's a fantastic set of assets and skills. Hopefully whoever picks it up will make something more of it. For those who worked there in 2007, I still remember a lot of names and the faces that go with them. Good luck guys, hope something good comes your way.
