Guest Chainsaw Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 A little birdy has told me that Qantas may use four B717's to Canberra on a 4-abreast config. I don't have any facts or quotes as yet, but I'm listening. This is only a rumor guys and may never happen. If it does, I told ya! :ch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd M Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 4 or maybe 3 abreast In a business part of a config maybe, but otherwise I will believe 4 abreast in economy on aQF 717 when I see it! :P And also I will believe 717's in Canberra when I see it! If they do come, I will be a happy chappy. Apart from not fitting in the darn things seats, Its better than a 737! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Juliet Juliet Papa Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Yes 717's heading to CBR is on the cards. The pollies do not like flying SYD-CBR or CBR-BNE especially in Economy on a noisy Dash-8-400 There should be one in ADL right now with pre mod's completed. There should be more heading to Richmond paint shop soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd M Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 May I ask what kind of pre mods they would be doing in ADL JJP? As this intrests me that they would go ahead, but a change from Dash 8's and 737's is welcome down ere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VH-TJT Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 The pollies do not like flying SYD-CBR or CBR-BNE especially in Economy on a noisy Dash-8-400 If that's the real reason for the 717s moving over here then it's a joke. Why should politicians have a say on aircraft type for tax funded air travel? Too bad for politiions from Tasmania, Dash 8-1/2/300s aircraft and only a few Qantas 737 services to choose from. I hope the project is a flop. TJT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
