Virgin to start Perth - Broome

Fair question; I've done a fair bit of paxing in the 146 when I was at AN. Flights down to Tassie in J class where quite pleasant, those up north not so. I remeber sitting in the jump-seat MK-BN and it took about 30 mins to get to FL200 (very hot day, heavy ship!). Getting around at M.65 in the 146 when the F100 is about 40kts faster means that I would spend 20 mins extra in the aeroplane with QF. All to save $2. No thanks!

Hey
Ralph the Bong
A 20 minute difference isn't that much when you have frequent flyers with Qantas (I presume you have? Every man and his dog does these days). As a FA, our service is quite good on the 146 with NJS/QantasLink! If you want to get there faster with points, what about the Qantas 737? Don't worry because the B717s are coming anyway from July next year, just hope we get em at NJS.
