Given Alan Joyce apparently announcing that Qantas will acquire 10 Fokker 100s, I was wondering why they picked that model (from a manufacturer that is bankrupt and no longer trading)?
There seem to be quite a lot of alternatives:
So I thought I would ask those likely to know: Why the F100? And how would you compare the aircraft in that list?
Having just stepped off a Boeing 717 today, I wondered why Qantas did not order more of those: they seem to be very reliable and nice to fly in?
I will be interested in the responses...
