Like REX Alliance presently they have an oversupply of experienced pilots to chose from, up to them to decide what/who should work out best for them....and why. Cheers |

Operationally the culture is sound.I think you’ll find a considerably different ‘mentality’ amongst the pilot group than that in the (ex) Village. The two I know that have gone over would both be amongst the best operators you’d find. Alliance could do a lot worse than bolting on some of that. Like you said,personal perspective.. |
Could Alliance fly some international routes with E-jets for Virgin Mark 2 ?
If so where to ? Don't think their F100s can make NZ/Fiji nonstop with a full load, but can the Alliance e-jets ? Some former Virgin Mark 1 routes like BNE/DUD, NTL/AKL etc. might be perfect for the e-jets. |
They are. Ballarat to Tehran. Via Indonesia, Thailand and India.
|
“Don't think their F100s can make NZ/Fiji nonstop”...........could barely do Norfolk Island!
Embraer, no idea. |

With the recent tie up of Alliance and Virgin does that mean all the E190 slots will go to ex Virgin E190 pilots? Knowing how mates employ mates does that mean very few Alliance F100 pilots will get a position on the 190??

Some mail from over in the West suggests there is some guy who thinks he's running VARA seems to know a thing or three about Ejets - just ask him - so why wouldn't they have tapped that genius resource??? (once again - just ask him - apparently the lads and lassies say the sort of guy who just knows, well, everything)

The E190 would do the majority of the flying under the proposed agreement with Virgin. The E190 has the legs to do BNE-HIR and my guess this route wouldn’t start until around April next year.
Most of the proposed and some of the former wet lease routes were previously operated by the Virgin E190s. Alliance will be Virgin's Cobham. |

https://www.accc.gov.au/media-releas...ines-continues
https://www.accc.gov.au/media-releas...aises-concerns The ACCC is continuing to investigate whether this acquisition is likely to have the effect of substantially lessening competition. Qantas has provided an undertaking not to acquire any further interest in Alliance until the investigation is completed. |
I think that the ACCC will not make any decision on Alliance until the ownership of VARA is decided.
QF having removed themselves from Cobham may now not be so interested in contractors. The current industrial circumstances mean that they should do far better keeping everything in house and screwing down workers contracts than going outside. Wunwing |

was just looking at alliance website & Cooma listed as a port ? How come ? Don't think they fly there, at least yet.
F28s, which I believe are older version of F70s, used to fly into Cooma 2 or 3 decades ago. |
Ad hoc ski charters.

Maybe Alliance are taking over from Rex on SYD/Cooma ? 34 seats is not really enough. What are new security rules regarding Cooma Airport ? Mt Hotham airport ? Heard Cooma runway needs some "work". Can a F70 still get in & out of there ? If so, economies of scale would work much better. |
Don't get too excited, Alliance have done work into Cooma before, thats all. Why would they collude with REX to take over a Sydney route?
|
ACCC has given interim approval to the QQ/VA regional flying.
|
Profit upgrade released by Alliance to the ASX this week. Still thinking these guys and girls are in a very, very small world group of sizeable passenger airlines trading profitably. Possibly a group of one. Who would have ever thought.
|
Anyone know what they’re offering for the ejet jockeys yet?
|
Alliance ASX announcement today of purchase of 16 ex-AA E190's taking total to 30....
|
That will be quite a fleet. How many did Virgin have when they used E170 and E190?
The simulator going to Brisbane as expected. |
|
Icarus, 18 x 190’s, 6 x 170’s

N974QQ arrived YBNE afternoon. Pretty clear it belongs to Alliance. Even from below. |
Is Alliance employing any ex F100 Captains?

So what is Q doing with all those 717's?

There's also a chance that some of Qantas' international pilots and crew will work on the nimble 94-seat jets. "Importantly, Alliance is keen to provide the opportunity for our international pilots and cabin crew to operate the E190s given it will be some time before overseas markets fully recover," Gissing says. |
