Eventually however the plan will be for all bases to be fully transferred to the 321 in 10 years, but there’ll be some 737 bases remaining too as that aircraft will keep operating for 10 years. They may run 2 aircraft per base for a while and then eventually fully transfer all flying to the 321 but the exact timeframe for that hasn’t been decided.
stuff has been ‘announced’, just not to the general pilot population. But Sydney base is first. Followed by Perth. You can bet your bottom dollar that Q will engineer it so all positions are reserved for 737 pilots to minimise cross training.
