The timing of services to Perth will depend on the outcome of Jetstar's bid to continue operating and maintaining the Boeing 717s for Qantaslink. It is competing for the contract against incumbent Qantaslink operator National Jet Systems (NJS).
Joyce says winning the contract would push Jetstar to move on establishing facilities in Perth and would accelerate the timing of its own services.
I heard also that ADL will go for a while before they do anything in Perth.
Anyone know what the likelihood of a PER CC base be? or would they move people over from QantasLink? Wondering what they will do for ground crew - contract out or use new hires???? really want a ground crew job, it'd be great if there were suddenly a heap of jobs going!
