My money is on the Qantas group purchasing Alliance Aviation.
Qantas will then hand over the B787 operation to Alliance to operate.
Alliance will continue operating the Fokker fleet on FIFO.
Cobhams will continue operating the B717 for Qlink.
Eastern guys will be still talking about jets for the next 10 EBA's.
All cadets will be offered direct entry commands on the B787's.
