The fact is the subsidiaries are taking mainline flying whether you like it or not.
Network A320 out west seats the same amount as a 737. It's doing a lot of traditional mainline RPT routes. Rumoured to soon be doing Perth-Bali. And they won't be the first QantasLink outfit to be doing international jet routes. That's already started.
This is accurate. If you haven’t seen already the A220s are coming with ‘Qantas’ written on the side not ‘QantasLink’
