The 717 is not Etops approved - nor will be. Why do you think they use 733's?
When NZ get their A320's running, they will use up to 5 on the Tasman routes in due course.
An A319 at 140 seats would be an ideal shuttle for this market; or perhaps the 738NG/W with about 165 seats.
DJ should also be able to offer a nice low fare with an attractive international service.
Perhaps we should ask Ewan Wilson's advice on this matter, as he would know.
BTW - OOL is already a regular port of call for Freedom.

to the other bloke.
You're probably right.
Why would DJ pay the additional brass to be Etops - unless the MEL-PER services need to be Etops; as were the TN A.300's after some time on service.
