a good rumour, is definitely a good trick of RI's to keep pilots from moving on if he starts talking about regional jets, gets all the boys keen as for the next 6-12mths before reality sets in again.
If it happens would be great while it lasted..

I might be mistaken but I'd think it very unlikely that Orgin would try to compete main trunk with jets againist ANZ,QF and shortly Pacific Blue.
They have the shortest pockets so would bleed the most when the WAR started!

This thread may be a pig flying contest, but the basis for the debate is incorrect.
If the 'main trunk' inlcudes WLG-CHC, then there are NOT two 737 operators on that route. QF services the route with an Origin codeshare. Therefore we One World SLF's have a choice between NZ 737's and Origin 42's and Jetstreams, which is really irritating.
Origin also go to Queenstown with the 42's. According to my calculations 3 ERJ's would only allow them to operate on those two services - which are not 737 competitions at present, and nor do they involve regional airports.

rongitai,
nz and qf both fly 737 to zqn from chc, not sure if they both are at the moment, due holiday schedule. nz 737 was going chc-rot and due to start again, i think qf going to do the same so only route without 737 competition chc-wlg. Short sector and lack of security checks for the atr's is only 10-15mins slower than the 737. J41 probably less different.
Would be interesting how much effort would be required for first of type to get the thing up and running. As a side bar is the NG 737 to be operated by PB considered first of type?
Cheers

So what ever happened....
QO have now pulled the ATR out of ZQN and operate a 32 in there, the ATR is now on the main trunk...
What happened to TRG and TUO? QO seem to annoy people in those places by never sticking there very long. They don't seem to stay long enough to get any sort of loyalty going...

I keep hearing stories about jets but i'll beleive it when/if they show up. I doubt they have any intenion of trying to compete against the established operators, but try to codeshare with pac blue like they did with QF.
watch this space i think.

J61/ATP: Oldish, unreliable, ugly!
RJ70: Oldish, bit gas hungry, ugly!

ATR'S are still stooging the ch-wn-aa run and are doing reasonable loads i hear, as for the drivers i dont think their contarcts have been renewed for the full term and that they dont know the aircraft's future with the company is still undicided there is still a reasonable amount of flying scheduled.
