Running narrow body equipment over short-medium haul in high density seating as all very fine, but when you refuse cargo clients uplift due to full loads, then you will lose them to a more reliable carrier with a heavy that is not tankering fuel, as they will have the space every time.
Sort of a Catch 22 - If we are not doing well we can make up the balance in freight revenue, but if we are doing well we will have to offload freight for baggage and piss off the shippers and lose them, and when we are not doing well again the freight will be riding an A345 and the shippers will not want to know about us.
Anybody see a spinning propellor here??

This is my first post on the PRUNE and I enjoy reading EWL's posts on any topic. We spent a very enjoyable afternoon in the Legends Bar on Pacific Sky on the way to NZ but he complained of liver problems later I believe. I said hello to our mutual friend from EWA days who now drives for Jetstar and appears to be very happy.
Cheers Ron

Nobody is making any dough on the Tasman so it depends how long Corrigan wants to subsidise it? PB didn't get there 4th a/c as it went to VB. If things don't improve soon they will be Dog Tucker! I belive they have no fuel hedginig as well!
AirNz has taken back the main port (CHC,WLG,AKL) to Brissy flights off Freedom (winter schedule so more capacity req'd) and Freedom have been given WLG-Fiji.
Freedom are short on crew (guys doing airbus courses) so zk-NGA has gone back to AirNZ & they are doing quite a few flights for Freedom in it.
