Looks like no B737-500's but F100's. Add in today's Australian for engineers, "Future expansion with the introduction of F100 aircraft to support a fleet of EMB120"

introduction of F100 aircraft to support a fleet of EMB120

What, a jet supporting a boat? They've got their priorities wrong! :}

Interesting move to F100s. Perhaps the hairdryers will soon become out of favour. The mob over at NJS had better get to it and do a fleet change lest they be left with a bunch of 4-engined lemons. How about a fleet of big-donked 717s? They'd cream those dirty little Fokkers!

It's ironic that 20-odd years ago the Cane Toad brought in the 146 to see off East West's F28s. Oh how times change.

The 717 is an overweight ****box compared to the F100. The dirty little Fokkers are much better suited to hot, short mine runways than the Mad Dog Redux.
