Boy those smokin' JT8D's have sure sparked some smoke on this thread!
Might it have occurred to anyone that the 732's are an interim aircraft to get the show up and running? Just curious, because Ryanair and Easyjet also kicked off with 732's, but once they gained momentum quickly moved to a more modern fleet.
Tankengine, I seriously doubt that Geoff Dixon is just waiting for the demise of Ozjet so he can get his hands on some current 732 drivers.
Anyway I suspect that an alternative for the business traveller is a positive thing, and I applaud the good-old-fashioned bond approach as an alternative to the buy-a-rating trend. I wish them well.
