Spot on…have a look at the routes QQ are currently doing for VA in the F70/100 and the E190, they were all done by the VA in the Ejet.

The problem with VA is they think the 737 can do every route in Australia and the current management have still failed to fix this.

Australia like the rest of the world need 100 seat jets. VB had the right idea, but then JB came along and all he wanted was wide bodies.

During the GFC the Ejets saved VB has they moved a lot of the flying from 737s to the Ejets. Not one Ejet pilot was displayed or forced to move base during the GFC, yet a number of 737 pilots (FOs) were.
