Common sense would dictate either keeping the status quo - ie. Cobham operating the Qlink single isle jet, or the acquisition of the staff already operating the Airlink contract.
Its the worst kept secret that the 5 new B717s will be included in the expanded Airlink contract (operated by Cobham). The only question is where will they be based???
C-Series or A319, as has previously been stated, the B717s are being upgraded. They'll be around for a few years yet. So my bet is on the lighter, more efficient C-Series as their eventual replacement.

Poto I have heard from an extremely reliable source very high up in management that Qantaslink will be used to launch Virgin Galactic!
I suppose, since that program's been canned, the Virgin Galactic program makes most sense...unless NASA is looking for it's MARS mission crews...
Hold on to your helmets/DC's/BOSE's/TELEX's...all will soon be revealed via FOSO/FOAB/Geneva MSG/Facebook/Crow..IPAD's...just make sure your astronaut medical is up to date!

Ok, I think from the original post #1, the subject of QLink is referred to as SSA/EAA rather than Cobham or Network (and management wonder why we have an identity crisis!). 
Evidenced by the mention of our new management (seconded from JQ) CP and CAR217 manager, who are the regulatory postholders for SSA/EAA and (as far as I'm aware) NO regulatory oversight with NJS or Network; the ex-EK drivers coming back home and working for SSA/EAA (any come home for NJS or Network? - I know you can't suggest anything solely on this fact, was just a reference to the original post); the new 'Training and Policy Development Specialist' requiring the experience that was aforementioned in the subsequent vacancy notice (don't think that position was advertised with NJS or Network either) and yes, well aware it could be just jobs for mates, but you can't overlook that this was only advertised in SSA/EAA circles.
Happy to be correct by Capt Claret et al...just be gentle

You think so do ya Bloggs?
I don't.
When I hear of or read QantasLink, I think of the entity, as described thus, on the Qantas website:
Qantas definition of QantasLink and they should know 'cause it's their baby!
I don't.

QantasLink is a wholly owned subsidiary of Qantas Airways and Australia's largest regional airline. It operates around 2,000 flights each week to nearly 50 metropolitan and regional destinations across Australia. QantasLink is comprised of three different regional airlines - Airlink, Eastern Australia Airlines and Sunstate Airlines.

When did Network become part of Qlink?
If there is an identity crisis it's of your own making.
Network = Network
SuNstate, Eastern and Airlink (Natonal Jet Systems) = Qantaslink

Apparently an Embraer in Jetstar colours was last night spotted in Singapore parked at Bay C25?
More likely the Orange Cancer will be spreading to QLink rather than QLink getting jets.
