Inter company stuff, reading from the QF/JQ songsheet
VB to offload "tourist" destination to tiger but 320 not up to the task legs wise, tiger can't operate 73 until on their AOC, announced will happen but slowly - guesstimate over next 12 months +/-.
Until 73 on tiger AOC flights are charter, not RPT, and not International, and not International RPT etc etc; different catagories, different requirements.
Problem(s) not anticipated/forseen by outgoing or receiving departments of either entity (rules and regs, laws and other crap....whatever the responsible divisions are labelled these days) or so the story goes.
Poor internal management - sure would NEVER, EVER happen in QF/JQ!!
