Strongly doubt Rex will feel a lot of pain. JJs would be more suited to routes like SY-CB. Some Sunstate routes may be under pressure here, would really see the Q400 put to the test. As for Rex, I think they can breathe easy, at least for the time being. I could be very wrong though...

Could the E190s do trans-tasman runs? If so, could open up some interesting opportunities! I wonder if they'd look at things like Norfolk Island, New Caledonia and places like that too. Maybe even Suva.

2 x 737-800 arriving before year end, VH-VUM in Oct and -VUN in November.
VB also losing 2 now one later to PB.
No new routes this year. Until Syd-Cbr kicks off the E-Jets will fly existing VB routes.

So we know that the Ejet is going to fly SYD to CBR/PMQ
There is talk of ABX and guessing many more ports to come in the not to distant future...
What about crewing the plane. Since most of these flights are looking at being out from SYD, are there many crew (current FO's on the 737) going to move to SYD on the Ejet ?
Is the money that much more?
Can they commute from their original home base (BNE/MEL)?
Interesting times ahead ...
Look forward to the next ports that will get the Ejet.

How do you know you could commute?
When the Ejet is going to be doing regional flying (day trips i guess), that is going to make commuting kinda hard if you are based in another city or state (SYD/BNE/MEL etc)
