AJ has squeezed the orange lemon as much as he can.
The best thing he can do with them now after the HK debacle is gift the NZ operation with some surplus Dash 8's!
The JQ project is over and is now consolidating.
Where is the next vehicle for good returns......QF!
Last weeks announcement confirms that.
So it's QF's turn to get the attention.
All is in place but Flight Ops is running on cost index 0!
If anything picks up then Chaos will follow because no one has planned for it.
It's only eight orders but if the flying program picks up then divisors then promotion will follow at the least.
Look at the 744 hours now?
What if the 330 gets a new route, maybe Mumbai direct with a new configure 200?
There's talk of direct Beijing?
QF are pushing to resolve crew rest on the new configure 200's....why? Not just because of Manila but it wil open up a whole bunch of other possible routes as well.
The network chaps are actively implementing new routes now.
This all means new hires over time. A lot of them which can only be good.
It's happened before and it will happen again, hold on!
