Hey, makes sense to me. Add a small number of quills to the tail of the F100s and suddenly WA’s Truly Regional Airline has jets!
Conversely, take a few quills off and all of a sudden Alliance has a handful of 4 million hour Conquests.
No, really, I'm skeptical but this is a rumour network. I'll sit back and watch with interest. I mean F50s and D8-300s...? And -100s?! AND EMBs!? Sounds like Ansett's perfect fleet.
I'm thinking along the lines of SDT. I find it hard to believe that Alliance are strapped for cash, considering their contracts and the amount of QF Link work they are doing.
