2 partriges in a pear tree!
We don't think the government especially near election time will allow their money to go into another Aussie airline ailing.
We were working on a Pac Blue A/C in the early hours of this morning coming out of heavy maint - Pulling out the stops trying to get it ready for its early departure. Thats how close we are with these guys, many of their guys are ex AirNZ that we previously worked alongside. It was news to them as well as their rep!
My take is that we will probably align ourselves more and more rather than Qantas, as their engineers across the ditch are not working on our A/C any longer due to their ongoing industrials. So we have to put our engineers over in Aussie Airports to support our movements
