Very big storms over Melbourne this arvo/evening.
Most went to CBR and I heard one was going back south to Tassie. One QF 767 went to AVV, SQ was holding for ages, not sure where they ended up.
Surprised the Tiger jet didn't go to AVV as they still have all their stuff there.

There IS only ONE base. Melbourne.
Given that their route structure is about 30% of what it was before the grounding it would be doubtful they will be hiring pilots anytime soon.

apparently Strategic have been bought out by SQ
What would SQ actually be buying? What assets do Strategic own? An AOC and some furniture. Isn't everything else leased?
Tiger will be rebranded Air Australia
Tiger trying to be smart asses again and the ACCC jumped on them again

Anyone from CASA able to explain if/when Tiger will be able to expand their services beyond 22 per day? I'm sure some of the displaced QF pax would like another option for travelling during their disruptions.
Anyone... hello...???

And further to the above post, will Tiger now be allowed to increase their flights due to the grounding of QF or is CASA still saying "No, no, no... not yet"???
If ever there were a time when more a/c were needed Australia wide..... is now not that time???

I have a feeling any hope of Red rat/Jetstar/Qantasia being a huge success have just been knocked on the head
I think SQ has learnt a lot about LCC in the past few years and I think scoot might just be what SQ is looking for
