VB Ejet Bases

Hi All
Anyone know what the bases are for the EJet with VB and whether they are planning on opening a MEL base.

Heard from one of their Check Captains about a month ago. 3 Bases, Melb, Syd, Bris. Equal spread of the fleet over the 3.

So what's that eventually? 8 aircraft, 60 tech and 200 odd cabin crew per base? That's off course if they get the full fleet of 24. Notwithstanding the need to crew the EJ itself, some interesting vacancies in other areas, and companies as a result.

What about PER, since they are expected to open up Kal-boulder, Karratha and Broome (all year round)??

are they?
KAL will be an interesting one, as their last effort to launch services there didnt end well when they pulled out at short notice due to poor forward bookings. now they have the right aircraft type will be interesting to see what happens as they werent too popular with the town last time...
