Move to Sydney and fly one of the six remaining ATRs?
Or get trained up on the 737.
Hmmm.
With FIFO well and truly wound down in QLD I'm not surprised there's not as much regional flying. But you have to wonder what VA's plan is as they seem to have been caught with their pants down.
Decent fleet of 737s for the bread and butter but with an expensive collection of other types, too few of each for any serious attempt at a route strategy. Not enough 777s for daily US from the golden triangle. Not enough A330s for daily transcontinental and Asia. Embraer fleet too small to achieve economy of scale in Australia or just badly managed?
If I were a shareholder I would be feeling uncomfortable with the apparent lack of direction.
