Why doesn't it retool the place for the A380 and 787??
|
Because they prefer to get the work done cheap in Asia unfortunately.
|
Is it true that there is "less" work on the newer types with the addition of self monitoring systems etc. ?

The A330 and 737 fleets there are enough of them to justify the Brisbane base. |
Also they are doing the RAAF A330 & 737 fleets as well

Australia is just too expensive. For anything. Whether it be getting maintenance on an aircraft, buying bananas, going on holidays. We are just too expensive.
