How good is Alliance!!!!
Bit rich QF now trying to desperately cite Rex’ support on the deal as why it should be approved.
Rex as per usual, are only supporting it because that is what works for itself. They don’t give a rats about anyone but Rex, nothing to do with what works for consumers, it’s what works for its rocky balance sheet. An opportunity to pick up some Virgin work if approved sounds about right.

DRW-SIN won't go ahead in an E jet (at this stage), but likely to be an A220 route...when NJS become capable of international ops, consistently upgrading FOs or just being able to attract crew. It's possible mainline SH gets some A220-500s, but that model is so far over the horizon that the ore containing the raw materials for the first airframe hasn't even been dug up yet.

Airbus have have clearly said they have no intention of seriously looking at it until the existing 220 programme is far more mature.
I can't see why a potential -500 would go to SH anyway. AJ (and hopefully the entire culture) will be long gone when that day arrives, but it's looking more and more like the SH of today is the NJS of tomorrow.

That’s right Lapon.
SH looks like a shrinking entity, not enough A321 orders and with no A330 replacement in sight it looks like a narrow body future for a good chunk of the A330 domestic and international flying.
There will be no place to go for current mainline pilots.
Meanwhile the rocket scientists that engineered the crappy NJS agreement are scrambling to fix their greedy screw-up with foreign pilots.
So why can’t AIPA see this?

I think it's an increase from 2000 total flight crew in 2022 to roughly 2700 crew in 2027, so much for a "shrinking entity".....

Looks as made up as your training vacancies post on another thread.

You're going to be busy on your home flight simulator with that schedule . Do you use real world ATC too?
Where do you think they are going to park 15 A220s in MEL every night?
The same place they park 20 B717s now.

Finally . . . . A post referencing AIPA (ideally QF management would also be included) as to the demise of the current SH flying.
A top down view would surely prove more productive than the current references to the different alias’s and crew groups forced to operate under the different T&C’s imposed by the employers ?
ONLY that will ultimately fix the current mess that is the QF group domestic situation.

Whilst these topics are all important, it’d be nice to say “Finally……A post referencing Alliance.” Given the title of the thread and all.

Double Trouble fight flight on Alliance!
Picked this up on one of my feeds. Sounds like an interesting flight not.....did it even make Aussie news or did I miss it?

yeah. No more co tendering on fifo. Which is currently a few flights out of Perth. This is completely irrelevant to any east coast flying.
