Welcome to the "Big Boys Club" West Jet, sometimes it pays to stay in ones own back yard, newer aircraft are expensive, but buying old Qantas airframes given the "new reality" of Qantas is not very smart. {For those who haven't noticed, Qantas is no longer the fine airline it once was, but like many others is now run by the "Bean Counters", which we all know cuts on everything from food to maintenance! }
