Question

Jimbo

Do you think what warning star said on the other thread that they are to be leased makes a difference?

Maybe being the bigger person and not saying anything would be more mature.

No it doesnt make a difference, but what does make a difference is what the QF CEO said at a meeting yesterday.

The fact is , 6 more jets are on the way, and its time for the Impulse Bashers to renig thier claims of "dreaming". I also resent the fact that people on this forum dont find it degrading that the Impulse guys are called "worms". Thats all Im trying to say.

Refresh your memories by reading the 717 threads.

Vince Brown, good on you for sticking to your guns, you showed them!

For all the Impulse bashers ……….here’s 20 cents call your mum have a cry

My Work Is Done……….Trust in me and you shall receive the Right answers my good brothers.........

Just to rub salt into the wounds of the VQ Pulse bashers – another 10 are optioned to bring the total fleet to an optimal operational level of “24” B717’s in total.

Forecast to be in service by this time next year……bout the same time when the rest of the BAE146 contracts run out

As Fabio said before and say’s again : I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S NOT BUTTER

Vincent Has Left The Building………..

Lan Kwai Thongie,

I hate to dissapoint you and ruin your attempt at an intelligent post (by the way, an intelligent post requires intelligent grammar, and/or english) but I dont fly the 1900, I dont fly the 717, and I dont work for the Pulse! I do however have respect for the guys at the Pulse for putting up with the ********* that is aimed at them.

Do everyone a favour, and don't bother going through the sign up process just so you can have a lousy attempt at abusing someone. Congratulations on your first post, unfortunately you got it wrong!!

Oh, and get off the VQ bashing bandwagon, this is not your place!

Qantas Airways Adds Six Boeing 717s & Introduces New Qld Services
Document date: Wed 03 Apr 2002 Released time: Wed 03 Apr 2002 15:08:23
Document No: 260536 Document part: A
Market Flag: Y
Classification: Progress Report
QANTAS AIRWAYS LIMITED 2002-04-03 ASX-SIGNAL-G

HOMEX - Sydney

+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Qantas today announced that it would add six Boeing 717 aircraft to
its fleet over the next three months and introduce new non-stop
services to regional Queensland cities.

Chief Executive Officer Geoff Dixon said Qantas would take delivery
in May and June of six Boeing 717 aircraft configured in two classes.

The new aircraft will allow Qantas to offer new Boeing 717 services
to destinations in Queensland, including Coolangatta, Rockhampton,
Proserpine, Mackay and Townsville.

"The arrival of these aircraft will increase tourism opportunities
throughout regional Queensland and will create more than 150 jobs
within QantasLink for pilots, flight attendants, engineers and
operational staff," Mr Dixon said.

QantasLink will introduce new non-stop services on routes between:

* Sydney and Rockhampton
* Sydney and Proserpine
* Sydney and Mackay
* Sydney and Townsville
* Melbourne and Maroochydore
* Adelaide and Coolangatta
* Hobart and Coolangatta

"QantasLink is a substantial operation throughout regional Australia
and it is continuing to grow and support industry and tourism in
regional areas," Mr Dixon said.

"These new aircraft will complement the existing fleet of eight
Boeing 717s and will take the QantasLink total fleet to 76 aircraft,
operating more than 2500 flights each week and providing employment
for more than 2000 people."

This news appears to answer the original questions.

Now one might ask whether the Impulse system will be able to continue pushing crews through the conversion process quickly enough to avoid recruitment ?

Yes, the word is all 6 jets will be crewed from within. Half of the training already completed with the rest under way. Good luck to them.

What do these new services mean to Sunstate and the existing Q'link services from Brisbane to these Queensland regional centres?

My opinion is that they must suffer a reduction in pax ( long term, when the market balances out again with new players). Some of their pax must be on-carriage from the south.

Keg,
The B717s were offered with humility as standard, but QF fleet acquisition decided that they could save money by removing it pre-delivery.

In light of this, you'll forgive me for offering my dear friend Proplever a piping-hot serving of the humble-pie he so valiantly offered to devour if his well-informed and open-minded projections about Impulse's future in Australian aviation were proven to be unfounded.

Would you like sauce with that, Prop, ol' buddy?
