From a QF blog
"Qantas will shortly announce that, later this year, QantasLink will be introducing two-class B717s to their Cobham-operated jet fleet. The first of the smaller Business class equipped B717s will operate Sydney-Canberra, Brisbane-Canberra, and Melbourne-Canberra sectors."
Will the 717's suddenly become 787's.. ?
Mainline really is becoming an end of the line carrier in more ways than one.
