low cost is just that...Low cost. Watch out you QF mainline guys the blow torch is being turned up on you very shortly..
It may be Jet connect (yep those cheap Kiwi's again) that will be the new operator and they will be pleased with their new NG's or Airbus.
NJS was purchased by FRA to get their hands on the Surveillance operation. They openly said, at that time, that they wern't in the airline business. So their future doesn't look too bright either (though good for the surveillance people).
Impulse, sorry guys, but you simply have the wrong type of Boeing. It was an impulse inititive that QF bought out to get you out of the competition. Though it looks like a nice plane and by all accounts is, the 717 is dead in Australia
The Embraer may be a nice plane but it aint going to compete with Virgin NG 73's that are an accepted/percieved industry norm.
Either way its gonna play out like a splatter movie so watch your step and keep your heads cool (powder dry) as your futures have allready been carefully planned well in advance.
