Capt BB I think you believe your own hype & that put out by QF staff pretending to b the public, about how bad TT are. Some of the mud has stuck.
Yes TT don't have a lot of back up, or at least they didn't in the past.
TT grounding (very dodgy decision by someone at CASA) didn't help.
Now big brother is around in the form of VA/NZ, I think if a TT bus goes U/S & a VA or NZ aircraft flying same route at similar time, pax might get put on that aircraft or v.v.
