That comment and some of the above just shows how far out of touch some of you are with what's going on. Yes routes are still subsidised but many non-subsidisd are seeing a good increase in pax. But the fact is the 300 isn't suitable for most of the QLD routes, which is why it isn't being used. Not enough fuel/range and not enough seats. But hey, let's bring back a 300 do a Bundy return then sit there the rest of the day. That's not going to bleed money due to all the associated costs, is it? The 400 might be more expensive to operate on a short flight to Bundy or Hervey Bay, but efficiencies are gained when it also covers Mackay, Moranbah etc. in the same day.
This anti-400 vitriol is sad, you'll lose the support of your colleagues. Hope you hear a decision soon.
