They must be looking very forward to the domestic a321N’s arrivals. Although maybe they should of use the 240 ULCC config option.

They are also running a lot more Tasman/Pacific flights now with the a321/0NEO’s which will be putting more pressure on that crew pool. I’d assume they would probably prioritise a Tasman flight, over a domestic flight with cancellations.

Essayer to clear a back log of domestic passengers in CHC, than having 200 passengers stuck in SYD.
