I remember hearing exaclty the same thing in the early JQ days and probably true then.
With the exeption of a few high time 320s arriving to Network, none of the other subsidiaries
really operate routes/frequency that justify a 737. From a 50 seat dash 8 to 110 seat B717 it a bit of a step up to justify anything else, infact most of the subsidiary flying/frequency wouldn't exist with 737s alone.
The A220 might be a different story, but that ship has all but sailed just as the JQ one did years ago.
