Geez if true the fat cats in Hobart won't be happy being down graded into a Q400... It was mooted a couple of years ago that HBA would get the Q400 just after LST commenced ops. Qlink even sent the engineers down to HBA to do fuel panel training with the refuellers.
With that said there were some phone calls to the Launceston Jetstar Engineer from Qlink last year asking the question if any 717 GSE still remained as they were looking into running the 717 again into LST.
