All borders to reopen.
Trying to keep things moving when you lose one or two crew members is a problem, particularly if those crew members are not in their own home base at the time. You end up with aircraft stuck on the ground all over the place until the whole operation comes to a grinding halt.

Cheers mate
Sorry that makes no sense and doesn’t really answer my question. This isn’t about the airline crew, it’s about moving passengers from A to B and getting the economy moving. I am pretty sure AJ doesn’t want his fleet parked up- the operation is already at a grinding halt. The risk of the locations I gave you with a COVID positive case on board is miniscule. I am still quite confused about your response.

IMHO to appease the fact gatherers. It makes no difference if the borders are open, there still won't be too many passengers travelling anywhere, for what purpose, why do you think we are all going to rush to the airports and travel somewhere. Are you suggesting that alone will restore the economy.
What a nonsense! The only difference is I don't fly a heavy anymore, I retired from the Airlines, not from Life. I'm still current and get to bash around in the flight levels when I feel like it. When was the last time you flew, are you sure your views are not out of date, The covid change of life occurred 7 months ago, have you adapted yet.

Which doesn't involve crossing borders, so is Perth to everywhere in WA as well, whats your point
I tend to agree. I don't think the return to normal passenger levels will come as a result of governments opening borders, I think it'll come when public confidence to travel returns to a pre Covid state. It may not be until a vaccine is distributed, it may be when the media stops treating this in a sensationalist way. It may be when the spread of the virus is mostly contained, it may be when economic conditions begin to recover. Who knows?Passengers were cancelling trips in great numbers before borders were closed.

The borders being closed is much bigger than a few aircraft parked up and my career at a screaming halt like many others on this forum. Its family's seeking medical attention farmers who have had a horrid decade and now have the opportunity to cash in on recent good weather events its about family's and singles with business that have or will soon face financial ruin and have no way of recovering. Then there is the mental health issue year 12 students already doing the unthinkable and Victorians who have it much harder then the rest of Australia, well what I thought was Australia who know what ppl think now.
Good to see DA finally concede, swallow his pride seek help from NSW to understand why our contact tracing is so successful. NSW is able to manage this as demonstrated from the start. QLD, they're on the brink of an outbreak well before NSW as they don't have the contact tracing ability NSW.

Retired, best years of your life behind you. Travelled widely in your 20s - 60s. But travelling now is becoming difficult, not to mention how rude people are nowadays - and the crowds - this place was way better when we were here in 1975... Did I mention how rude people are nowadays? Plus places are way hotter than they used to be, and dirtier, and no one appreciates how much better this place was in 1975 despite how many times you tell them... and the travel insurance premiums are ridiculous... so you don’t really care much for travel anymore so it’s really no skin off your nose if we close the borders and don’t travel.
But here’s the thing, plenty of people still want to travel. They’re just younger than you. You got old and over cautious: it happens to everyone and now it’s happened to you.
Yes it does matter, have you not been reading the stories of despair from general citizens, farmers, business and many others?

P.S I don't know how we ever managed without, mobile phones, laptops, tablets, GPS and vehicles that don't break down
I have always been ruder. Only yesterday I stood behind a young lady at the shop counter that had on the back of her teeshirt, today is just a high heels and lingerie day. As she walked away I said to her, so what happened to just the high heels and lingerie.
