ITCZ,
I think Loco's Smoke has answered the question.
I agree with your sentiments regarding who you work for having no bearing on what sort of operator you are.
(See some of my previous posts which are very similar to your post regarding this).
As far as NJS crew losing out to the Impulse 717's replacing them in some instances, I certainly feel for these PEOPLE.
I am still interested to hear what a 146 can do ie range,payload etc that a 717 cannot.
As far as airbrake 42 is concerned. You still have not answered my question so I assume you have no idea what you are talking about.Your statement regarding the 717's having a limited future leads me to believe that you are on drugs.If you put down dunny cleaner as your occupation in your profile than expect people to refer to it.
Finally , if Qantas does introduce a new regional jet hopefully the 146 guy's will get to operate it (Best of luck).
