Well the big Q put the final nail in the coffin for the people in adl two years ago and announced EASTERNS, then they were gone, the crew thought themselves lucky and ended up in the new project JET*. Now that game is over. Very unluckly after this load of crap, could not imagine anyone who has had to endure this, staying in the industry for too much longer. Chin up guys

Did any pilots actually get fired? In order of seniority was it?
Base closures have been a part of life since .....a long time. When I joined my first airline many moons back it had bases in MEL, SYD and BNE. IT had a Tasmaniain Queen Air operation and Otters in Mackay. It had a big PNG operation and lots of contracts for things like MTAMS and Aerial Surveys.
But month by month, year by year that all changed. It happens.

No pilot has lost their job, and for anyone to say this, obviously they are stirring the pot....
They will all be offered relocation to either syd, per or have to bid into a another base around the network.
The aspect that does worry me though is, knowing the rutheless nature of the pricks who run this company, will the crews from adl have their moving costs paid...time will tell!

Max, that covers the renting situation, what if you have to sell ?
Agents fees, stamp duty etc adds up to 10s of thousands of dollars.
I guess there will be no compensation either for those who have bought recently and will effectively loose money buy selling too soon, not to mention moving to a far more expensive city in PH or SY.
Sounds like a pretty sucky deal
