Qantas mainline brings 717’s in house
They outweigh an F-Truck and there is 'only' 20x of them in 'this' Gig/Deal............., could 'one' get another gross/or more of 'em....????
Does, 'anybody' still support the Propulsion & Avionics packages......??? and how does, the pressure-vessel/hull system work?????
Just askin , got me stuffed- have a really great day.

Any idea what the big picture is here?? How many AOCs does one airline actually need? Good news for empire building management I guess they get to duplicate everything again!
As was mentioned in another thread, the 717s are the Fokker replacement.
Network will be the 320 operator and NJS will be 717 operator. Expect a bunch more 717s over the next few years.

QF Management following the old expression...never waste a crisis!
As if there wasn’t enough downwards pressure on terms and conditions

they bought the AOC
You have to buy the entity that has been granted the AOC.
If the entity is a natural person, the AOC cannot go anywhere as you cannot buy a person.
I think some of my friends on the 717 will sleep a little easier tonight knowing they are bound for new management and a vastly different culture. The 717 has plenty of life in it yet and so do the crews who fly them now.
The timing of this move could be fortuitous for QF and disastrous for VA. QF could use the the low cost B717 to compete with VA on the East Coast routes charging fares VA could not match. The ACCC would be powerless to prevent this.
It's good news for the drivers but it really is a pretty grim aircraft - the design is well over 50 years old and so there's only a couple of Operators left - I don't think they have much passenger appeal TBH
Bottums Up
I think you might be surprised at the passenger appeal.
Have they actually confirmed no redundancies for anyone?
