Someone forget
- Alliance is 19% owned by Qantas.
- I doubt F70 and F100 seat/mile costs are lower than a modern B737 or Airbus seat/mile costs.
- They would need a lot more than an extra 14 x F100's to even scratch the trunk route markets.
Airlines don't usually run a major domestic scheduled air service with aircraft over 24 years old, built by a company that went bankrupt and ceased operating 24 years ago.
