Sorry yes looks like some other base flying done out of Sydney.

Avalon and Cairns still a no go?

Not yet.

Avalon should come back as it’s all a Dan Andrews taxpayer funded deal. Pulling aircraft out of there probably puts that at risk.

Cairns who knows. They will need a base for 321LR runs to Japan in the not to distant future so axing the base isn’t logical to myself.

I believe its 4 bases.

AKL
MEL/AVV dual base
SYD
BNE

I reckon ADL/CHC might be in for the chop for cabin crew base perspective. Might survive as pilot bases.

Not AVV, it’s not a part of the Melbourne base from a tech crew perspective.

my money would be on PER getting the chop, given they only do bali, which won’t be back till at least 2021 and even when it does it can be crew by east coast crew overnighting on BOCs.
