The 2 new B717's arriving were 2 of 6 inspected by QF, so it's possible.
Those hoping that Network will somehow take over the Cobham Qlink 717 flying will probably see Green tail F100's on the east coast but not in an RPT capacity, purely FIFO contracts.

I wonder if the Pilots Sub Council (EAA & SSA) still believe they will be getting jets now. 2018 a long time to wait, with C series due around 2015 i dont think so. Oh thats right, they will be but at other operators.

Anyone heard when the first two 717s turn up in Brisbane?
Have all the positions for aircrew been filled, external and internal?
Heard some of the older guys turned it down and some of the younger guys have taken it up
Will there be more 717's going to brisbane and or a second round of
recruiting in the future

Qantaslink new 717 schedules are out for BNE base
QantasLink will launch Boeing 717 services to Rockhampton and Gladstone on 15 March and Mackay on 26 March 2012 following the addition of the B717 aircraft into its fleet.
QantasLink was recently voted the world’s best regional airline by prestigious aviation journal Air Transport World.
QantasLink Executive Manager Narendra Kumar said he was very pleased to announce that QantasLink would be jetting off to three booming Queensland destinations.
“The introduction of QantasLink’s two new B717 aircraft in Queensland will deliver an increase of over 200,000 seats per year in Queensland,” Mr Kumar said.
“QantasLink’s new 115-seat B717 services will offer customers faster flight times and more seats at peak times by complementing existing aircraft on these routes.”
By mid year, the QantasLink B717 services will result in:
- 1,674 additional seats per week to Gladstone which will see QantasLink provide more than 9,100 seats per week on the route.
- 806 additional seats on QantasLink services increasing seats offered by the Qantas Group between Brisbane and Mackay to 13,884 per week (operated by both Jetstar and QantasLink).
- 598 additional seats to Rockhampton, offering over 8,400 seats per week.

Is this operated by Qantaslink or some other operator?
Sunstate (Operating Dash8s in QLD)
Eastern (Operating Dash 8s in NSW, Vic, SA and now WA)
Network (Operating a few different types flying charter only in WA)
and Cobham who have the 717 Contract. (Operating in WA, NT? and now QLD)
QantasLink as an airline is just a shell for the above 4 operations.

It is getting ridiculous nowadays. I can buy a ticket on Webjet or other similar sites to fly to London with British Airways but I get on Qantas aircraft in Australia. Next thing will be transferred to an asian crewed Onestar aircraft I suppose.

Sunstate and Eastern are owned by Qantas and trade as Qantaslink, another Qantas company, Airlink contracts out to Cobham to operate Qantaslink services. Network also owned by Qantas does not operate any Qantaslink services.
Cobham pilots crew the 717 services.

The last two new 717s wee delivered on May 23rd, 2006, so unless some eccentric has hangared a few, unflown, for 6 years they'll be pre loved.
Boeing: Commercial Airplanes - 717 - About the 717 refers.
vigi-one,
The jet-like speeds are still there but 360 kts isn't quite the 460+ of the Douglas/Boeing 717/MD95/DC9.

Subject, object, verb anyone?
No IFE, not even audio. Still they are CHEAP. Hah hah
BYO music and video is great. AFTER transition on the way up, longer if turbulence keeps the belt sign on but BEFORE top of descent. You have just lost a good 30 minutes of IFE time. One whole episode of something or other.
