No. Not in it's 'current form'. In it's previous form as a domestic NZ airline. Tasman flying was being done by mainline- 767 and 737. QF mainline were withdrawn from that flying and Jetconnect took it over when Qantas withdrew from NZ domestic flying.

The irony in all of this is that a recent letter from the Chief Pilot of Qantas said that our actions were putting Jetconnect pilots job in jeopardy (an assertion I reject) and yet it was Qantas' actions in withdrawing from Tasman flying that have put Qantas pilots jobs in jeopardy and caused a significant reduction in flying hours (and pay) for mainline pilots. It's nice that the QF Chief Pilot is concerned about Jetconnect pilots' jobs. I wish he's show the same concern for ours.

The issue with the comma was that it changed HF's sentence completely and made him appear incorrect when in fact, you've now agreed with his original sentiment.
