I thought so too. From what I heard Jetconnect not only has a shortage of aircraft and QF deciding to use some of their 737 for Trans-Tasman to free up a 767 for domestic or international, but they have a shortage of flight crews....if only I decided to stick to flight school instead of becoming an accountant (no longer practicing
)
Oh I guess the changes to the schedule, one month early I thought indicate that QF recognize that the 30 minutes turnaround do not give contingency to make up for lost time and that it works better to stagger the flights more.
