Is it cheaper to shut down then run with strikes?

On the spotting side of things, expect to see some new liveries on the domestic scene, if this isn't resolved by monday morning.

Virgin are calling on Etihad, Delta & NZ to be ready to send aircraft if required.

Although it is likely that Etihad will do the VA Abu Dhabi run, and Delta all of the trans pac V Australia flights with NZ doing as much of PB's tasman stuff as they can.

This will release the 777's and PB 737's for domestic work.

Also it is the start of the NW schedules so plenty of spare capacity available from Europe as well.

It may release the B777's for domestic work, but I'm not sure there are remote domestic bays available for passenger bussing operations for a B777. Happy to be corrected.



Without knowing any of the ins and outs of the average Qantas worker's current employment conditions, were they really being screwed over by Qantas management in the lead up to this dispute, or are they being unreasonable in what they're asking for? Were things really that bad for the average worker when it appears there are plenty of others seemingly happy with their employment in other ground handling companies (obviously I'm leaving the pilots out of this one)?

Surely it's time for a bit of give and take on both sides before everyone loses everything.

I think the board told AJ to do it for a 71% payrise. The board is the directing, AJ is just the PR man.

Any likelihood of the SYD curfew getting lifted in response to this?? Would seem crazy not to imo.

Curfew won't be lifted.

There are two brand new KC-30's sitting up at Amberly these could be put to good use...
