I believe if this is correct, Alliance placing their F 100's on these routes it indicates Qantaslink will never get any jet operation, it will constantly be farmed out to other operators.
Which then begs the question what is the point in staying?
There are still a number of Qantaslink captains that have been given the nod from Virgin and are still undecided if to go or not, I think this final decision will convince them the only decision is to leave.
