Network F100's to head to BNE.
Makes no sense to use Alliance when QF will shortly have their own F100's.
717's aren't due for a few months yet, and once they do arrive, there is still a need for QLink to use a 100 seat jet to allow the Q400 onto more mining/RPT runs.
Try booking a seat to/from Gladstone and Emerald on a Monday, Tuesday and Friday and you'll get my drift.
