What’s going on at Alliance?
I have a mate who had a pending start date with Alliance and who has suddenly had it put on indefinite hold. Does anyone know what’s going on? Is it anything to do with the financials being published?

Given their six month results were just announced that would not be a reason. Probably too busy to take on too many at once.

New DRW Base apparently according to today's presser? 
NT Chief Minister Michael Gunner said the government has secured a deal with Qantas to establish a new base in Darwin for its 94-seat Embraer 190 aircraft.
Mr Gunner said up to 200 jobs were expected to be created under the 30-month agreement, including pilots, cabin crew and aircraft maintenance positions.
The Territory government will invest up to $3.6 million in training, marketing and promotion, as well as incentives to attract workers to be based in the area.
Qantas has announced plans to launch E190 routes from Darwin to Adelaide, Canberra, Cairns and Townsville by the end of March.
“We are working in partnership with Qantas to deliver more jobs, cheaper fares and more flight routes for Territorians,” Mr Gunner said.

I had to laugh, all the routes mentioned bar Dili had been announced and operated months ago. I guess the new bit is the NT government contributing cash and LHR flights continuing with the DRW stopover?
After this 30 month deal expires, what next? A220?

QF have just loaded E190 flights ex BNE to CNS, NTL and CBR from April.
Times seem to overlap with current 717/737 times so looks like more 'expansion'
Work on their new maintenance base at ROK has also kicked off.
