DJ will use the E-jets, especially the 190 with their 100+ seats to start their new LCC with lower wages and conditions. Over time they will send the B737-700s over to the new operations. They will offer a new EBA based around seating capacity, ie up to 140 seats and they will have the E190 and the 737-700’s operating the new LCC. The E-jets will operate the regional flights with the 737-700’s operating the between the major cities. The B737-800’s will be used on the golden triangle, plus flights to Perth. The new LCC will have a fleet of 30-50 aircraft, while what is left of the current Virgin Blue will have 15 -20 737-800’s.
