The zebra is about to be feasted on by said lions til there is but a carcass remaining. Let’s not beat around the bush, QF and VA are going to eat this new operation alive in record time.

As mentioned by many earlier, this plan only had a chance if VA didn’t exist anymore. 3 months tops before a scale down, public sympathy campaign and shuttering of the great 737 experiment. Then Rex beg the government for more $ and we are back to where we started.

I would love to be wrong on this, jobs for pilots is what we all want right now but this is looking like another OzJet type situation to me, an optimistic dream but no demand for it.
