Look's like the winter is having an effect on JQ's Regional Services, wonder what they will do with the slack within the Q300 fleet, and if any of the Q300s will be shifted back to the mainland for Winter?

Have read reports in NZ newspaper of crewing issues (or lack there of)
If you really need to go somewhere in regional NZ, you do not fly JQ,

No denying that NZ JQr has suffered from crew issues but also note that NZ Link has been suffering the same, they just have more options to move disrupted pax.
I know that the winter months for the JQr destinations are very slow so it does make sense.

NZ has also been cutting frequency on some of the regional routes with JQ competition. Seems JQ's entry hasn't stimulated a sustained high growth.
