Are JET* 717's here to stay
Is it true that a 717 simulator is being built in Australia.
Does this mean that when jet* is finished with the jets they will be handed over to NJS to replace the BA 146?

It would seem that this is the case.
All you NJS drivers will in time be updated to the 717's
Happy days are here again...... well for some people

I dont know about the pilots but I know for a fact that Qantas and Eastern management have started discussions with the FAAA Domestic/Regional division about Eastern flight attendants operating the 717. This development happened in the last week.

The NJS slugs better get their act together before they get their grubby paws on the new machines. The crusty old farts been on the puff-jet way too long... since they quit their last jobs.
From what I've seen, between bitterness and lack of stimulation, their airmansip has suffered. Still at least they're stuck out west where their puerile antics can't hurt anyone. They're not even noticed by the mainstream jet-world, except at Perth where they have to behave. The MBZs are a different story.
717s.... Give 'em to Eastern, those flogs have been strutting around like they're jet pilots for years so they're already half-way qualified.

Rumour has it that with discrimination legislation mainline is unable to retrench cabin crew who have "past their use by date'.
B717 freighters masy be required to transport the "blossomed beauties' to the destination.......
I know they could call it DRAGONAIR.... drats, someone has already got the name.
