That supposes that QQ actually want to touch RPT, which I can imagine they wouldn't want to do unless somebody was handling the distribution or underwriting it. Their biggest opportunity would be to pick up the VARA business (or even just the contracts) and focus on those. Those Fokkers won't hold up well doing regular runs up and down the coast with multiple sectors, short turns etc. Plus, there is the small issue of Qantas holding the largest stake in QQ at the moment - subject to the ACCC investigation.
