Last 717 service

[markis10]

I just don’t understand how 4xA220 are replacing 20ish 717s, recognising that some of the workload has been taken on by the Ejet fleet. Not that many 717 crews are trained up on the a220 (pants would be mid seniority list and has not done line training as yet)

The 717 sale contract has significant on time delivery clauses and the A220 delays have not helped matters, not to mention a lack of crews available

YQY is leaving the country tomorrow, I wonder if YQW will suffer the same fate or perhaps QF may see it gifted to HARS, hopeful thinking.

Some? Heaps more like / Have you seen how many e-jets QFLink have now? Fleet will almost reach 30!

Didn't realise they were sold. Are they going to Delta or Hawaiian?

Yes many friends working for alliance who are a bit mind blown by it all!
