There is no difference between QF Link and JQ, why is this a headline? A320's are regional commuters in this decade and LCC's like JQ amplify this.
Er, Che? Are you saying flying a 19 tonne turbo prop is no different to a 77 tonne jet?
You may as well argue that Cessnas have been flying into Camden for decades, so let's put the bus into there too.
I flew high performance turbo props into Ballina for years, before moving to the bus where I've continued to do it for years. It is not the same. That a q300, which crosses the fence as slow as 87 kts is able to safely operate in that environment has little relevance to what we do in the jet.
