You’d have to be quite dull not to realise there is simply no spare pilots available for QF to start new A220 and A321 companies and their only solution is to have NJS and SH operate the ‘yet to be ordered or confirmed’ new aircraft.
Tell me did you see the Qantas - Alliance 18+ aircraft E190 deal coming, or was that a surprise to you?
Second, once the 717 is retired, which by current reliability rates is going to be soon, QF won’t have much of a regional jet presence.
You mean other than the 18+ E190 aircraft?
