I wonder what the hidden agenda is over at Rex land for throwing support behind this deal. Seems like they don’t want to upset QQ. I assume Alliance gives NJE engineering and spare parts support. Gotta keep that line open I guess.
NJE have their own engineering and spare parts arrangement for the E190. Have done so since day one I believe.
REX are ok with the QF/QQ tie up provided access to the the E190/Q400 simulator remains available for NJE and are supposedly in discussions to have a second E190 or Q400 sim located at their own sim centre in SYD along side the Saab and 737 sims in stead of BNE or MEL.
There are other reasons as well but that was one of the main ones that I recall from The recent town hall with Rex/NJE management.
