Aussie Aviator i dont doubt that talks between Alliance and Qantas are occurring but these F100 flights to both ROK and sometimes MKY are because the Q400'S have fallen over.
Gafa you are spot on i reckon only 4 F100's of Network will be WA based the rest will find homes in BNE,TSVor CNS and ADL.
With the opening up of 3 massive mines in the Galilee basin near Alpha next year will require between 5,000 and 7,000 fly in fly out jobs.A new jet airport at Alpha is planned.Also the massive LNG projects at GLT and RMA will involve more FIFO flights.
