Yeh pretty sure although nothing is guaranteed in aviation.
My mate in Easterns got an EOI some months ago and according to him, they were due to start ops around August. Considering Network engineers have been over East learing the Q400, and Geraldton ground staff are gearing up for their arrival, it seems pretty certain, no?

EAA drivers and maintained by Network. Like all the Q400s, on the SSA AOC.
Good Luck with that one tax man.
...and yes it is definitely happening. New ground course starts Monday, 18th July with most, if not all, having been given Perth Q400 bases. Backlog of sim slots so they're all heading to Toronto for training at the end of July.

So Eastern Tech Crew operating Q400s on the Sunstate AOC with Sunstate Cabin Crew and Network LAMEs doing the engineering...If this doesn't prove that CASA is just nothing more than a rubber stamp for the airlines I don't know what does...

But arent all these companies owned by QANTAS anyway? In which case what difference does it make what badge they have on their uniforms, the paycheck effectively comes from the same parent company.
If all the procedures are common between all the identities then I guess no big deal, I would be surprised if that were the case.
I can't comment on how the engineering side works.

This role will play an exciting part in setting up the new WA operation, provide administrative support for 40 QantasLink Q400 aircrew who will be based in Perth
So four airframes are headed that way? I heard only two initially.
