when it is operating 20 flights per week (BNE, SYD and PHE), presumably without a split AOC and the problems associated with that
You are quite right in the services you mentioned, but it is still being flown by VAI pilots only.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed operating in and out of the place, but it doesn't change my opinion about ditching Bali altogether though. With the current AOC set up and associated inefficiencies from an already under resourced pilot group, and a myriad of other problems that still can't see us making a dollar out of full cabins, I'd be happy to see the end of it.
And most pilots that I know that want to keep operating there aren't doing it for the love of Bali, they just don't want to say goodbye to sub 40hr rosters and be re-introduced to 4 sector days and max hours...... and who could blame them??
