Considering Cobham are now identified by the company as a specialist B717 operator, the only certainty is that nothing is certain!
Not quite sure what that means? I remember they used to be predominantly a 'specialist' 146 operator on the Airlink contract, which changed to the B717 in fairly quick time
Clarrie, when does the contract with Cobham expire? I doubt QF would be silly enough to breach the contract before that date (if ever).
Even if EAA/SA
do get some jet flying, it would be interesting to see how they crew the turboprop operation, considering the
existing difficulties they have getting suitable pilots. I doubt that QF would tolerate any reduction in capability with that part of the business in order to kick off a new jet operation.
The old jet carrot has been dangling since before 1994 (when I joined EAA). The closest it got was our Southern brethren, and look how
that turned out in the end
I wouldn't be going out and putting a deposit on a new Audi just yet. (Come to think of it, I wouldn't put a deposit on an Audi
EVER)
