Why the fudge VARA aren't flying some Alliance F70's (under their little bed sharing arrangement) is beyond me.
When is the 737 review coming at VAA? Surely 100 frames is unsustainable
The following aircraft have had reviews in the past few years:
B777
F50 (retired)
A320 (VARA)
E190
ATR72
And SHVC, on a positive side the last relocation package I was involved in was more than generous. Well over $15,000, 2 cars from memory, 2 weeks accommodation for the whole fam, flights galore, car hire etc. It was more than generous. Hopefully, though the distances will be a lot less for those displaced (not one side of the country to the other), it will still be generous under the circumstances
Only routes in QLD Alliance can't fly under the VARA EBA are Moranbah and Bundy. Any other route can be flown as the routes are also flown by VA B737s and E190s. They are already flying the Emerald run.
