Well, no-one thought Network would be operating ex Jetstar aircraft painted in Qantaslink colours. And I wouldn't be surprised if these Network A320s start doing Jetstar routes out of Perth to Bali and Singapore.
There’s quite a lot of excited chatter coming from the Red rat Airbus outfit over west.
They’re going to be taking over a large proportion of mainline flying out of Perth, some of the NEOs on order are to be diverted west and a whole lot of new and existing international routes will be flown. With all this vast Airbus experience they’re now accumulating there’s talk they’ll be crewing Operation Sunrise using A350s too!
If you don’t believe it just ask anyone there and they’ll tell you!
