Well they had better be quick or there will be no one left to drive them. Still leaking like a sieve with five pilots resigning last week.

Just supposing Jetconnect was to operate Dashs, would that imply a large reduction of 737s and an increase of A320 by J* eg Wgn Brisbane as J* and limited J* on NZ trunks eg fly ChCH Brisbane Wgn ChCH?

It does seem that as J* expands, JitConnict and the 737 operation has a question mark over it's longer term future.
If the cost is right, why wouldn't J* operate most or all of the existing 737 services when more A320's are available ?
So from that perspective, Dash's or something equivalent might be the only way Jitconnict will survive as an operating entity.

There will be no shortage of drivers. Especially if Air nsn pilot negotiations go the way their engineers negotiations went. Jet Connect if you want to be successful just pay a good wage and offer a good lifestyle oriented contract and you will be flooded with experienced type rated applicants.

Man if JetC had a presence in the out stations (WB TG etc) and people could book all the way on the qantas website a lot of pax would be happy for having the choice and the JetC 737 ops would see a healthy increase in numbers. I know a lot of travellers who only go with Air NZ because they can book right through to their destination. Would definately be a shake-up.

Dash8-Q400's... eek, shiver at the thought.
I suspect that they will be surplus Dash8-100's/200's from Eastern/Sunstate airlines which are currently experiencing a partial fleet replacement.
Jarse and Hoss,
What do you reckon fella's??
Will they need us to go to Inzid to C & T the Jitconnict crews on their ( our ) Dash's??
Think of the expenses.................
Stoobs.

That a boy Hoss, good luck in your new shiny aeroplane with wings on the bottom.
According to QL managers, there are plenty of guys with your experience just waiting to fill your position to fly their arses off for peanuts.
NOT!
