Did you mean lose? You forgot about the thirty Ejets operating “RPT” for QantasLink.
Same same really, ones chartering to a mining company the other is chartering to an airline, unless they have rocks in their heads they would price the runs to QF at a profit. Question is what happens if QF pulls the pin and they have all those jets and no work, answer is similar to what happened to Strategic. Hopefully the savvy operator has big penalties for contract withdrawal. Alliance at least is trying to stay away from what Skywest did, and that is move heavily into RPT rather than stick to its FiFo base.
