As long as the other carriers are stymied with decision paralysis Alliance should continue to turn a profit.
Can you explain this? As far as I can see Network have a plan to replace the aging Fokkers with the ex Jetstar A320s. VARA seem to be adding A320s from Tiger as they get replaced by B737 aircraft from VA. Cobham tried the Ejet so will probably replace their BAE146 with those.
They are more comfortable, with bigger seats, more leg room and a proper stand up loo.
More and bigger than what? All jets of that size have a stand up loo don't they?
as the A318 & 19 have/are being discarded by many airlines as they upgrade capacity and can be picked up for a song.
Is the A319/320 not too big for some routes for FIFO work? What about GSE? Specifically ULD for hold baggage? Can the bags be manually loaded?
The 100 seat aircraft is what is needed and more importantly, what the clients will pay for. It suits shift change sizes.
