The 50-125 seat gap issue may be solved within the next 6-12 months.
In that case jokeStar you had better get your application into National Jet quick smart!

Once this whole Jetstar/Impulse controversy blows over, the next big dust up will be over who gets the regional jets. Will it be a brand new operation? Or perhaps an existing regional or contractor will get the gig. If my understanding of QF's attitude towards its regionals even remotely reflects the truth, my money would be on a new separate operation or National Jet. I don't say this to stir things up, but if QF's performance with Jetstar is any indication, cheapest will win the day. So jokestar when QF asks your pilot reps how much you are prepared to fly their jets for, what will you say?

Good luck to all the players.
