That's MY catchphrase, startingout. Get your own

The reality is that Cobham is the jet operator for QLink;
Their contract has been renewed for a significant time into the future (including the timeframe in which the C-Series may be introduced); (Bloggs won't like the side-stick because it's like a bow-thruster on a boat).
Any new type is a REPLACEMENT for the 717 (Cobham);
The jet clause in your EBA is purely an effort to force Cobham to sharpen their pencils at contract negotiation time. QLink management NEVER intended EAA or SA to operate jets. God, they made the Q400 a space shuttle - imagine what their first jet would do to you guys.

Normasars: Don't bang your head against the wall mate. All you'll do is hurt yer head (as I do)

It's a big world out there. Like R.Cruizo wrote: If you want to fly a jet - join a company that operates them
