Geoffstar closes AD base
Anybody care to comment ?
Heard Jetstar closed AD, CC coming off flight handed redundancy package.
Most unusual it's not on PPRUNE already
Meanwhile Tigger hiring and opening new routes, what's in the water over there

Its such a well orchestrated stunt. Retiring aircraft that were going to retire anyway, cutting routes that they wanted to cut anyway but couldn't because the public would have cried fowl. Moving flying across to J*. Slowing J* recruitment which was slowing anyway due to the 78 delay.
And conveniently ebas being negotiated at the same time.

I am pretty sure it was in the announcement with the QF Staff cuts, they announced the closure of AD base then. As aulglarse alluded the first notification was by media release.

I know of a FO based for J* in ADL, and that person has already applied for Tiger in MEL.
Basically "Qantas fired its staff, now Tiger hires them"

The one benefit (for pax that is) is that the ADL-AVV flight becomes ADL-MEL... Methinks Jetstar/Qantas are getting spooked by Tiger's success on that route, soon to 3x daily.

My heart goes out to those who have lost their job and lifestyle, particularly the F/As. Most down to earth no nonsense lot there is, so many sources have and keep telling me.
Chin up and I am sure better opportunities await them.

When I fly Avalon-Sydney, I always choose the 6.45 departure from Sydney because it was operated by the Adelaide crew, and they were just so nice and friendly. They actually did care about us...not like some certain MEL based crew
I know a Dragonair Management Checky that left to Join J* on an ADL base 3 months ago as a direct entry Training/Check Captain.
So what happens to him then?
I new he was doing the wrong thing

Good luck any crews thinking of relocating to Perth. Make sure theres a good resettlement in it. This place is now ridiculously expensive even with the slight slow down on house prices its still more expensive than Sydney. And don't get me started on the price of beer over here.

Well they already slashed ADL-MCY and ADL-somewhere and I guess there just wasn't enough potential there, but there is pleny for QF, but not JQ. Just wait till TT comes and opens up a base down there....
ADL-PER needs better competition
