Last QantasLink 717 service

[A321]

Depends on where you look, some have it in the air towards HBA, FR24 has it in a backyard in Botany.
EDIT : nope in the air now

 

[nancypants]

Ok which mine contract covers HBA?

 

[ABC1]

So much for retiring the 717 fleet..

 

[nancypants]

Reportedly QF management looking at keeping this thing flying “til Christmas”- didn’t specify the year. Moves afoot to see if the C check can be deferred somehow

Addit: booked to do another SYD-HBA run today

 

[p--and--t]

I wonder how the ads on Seek are going for A220 pilots

 

[moa999]

And off to CBR this morning.

And off to CBR this morning.

And it's back to SYD...

Offer to pay peanuts, even monkeys won't apply!

 

[Harrison_133]

Scheduled to operate SYD-HBA again on Monday.

 

[Captain Halliday]

The little Devil was operating out of SYD today.

 

[RB001]

Headed back to HBA as QF1501.
Preaching to the choir?

 

[nancypants]

C check due tomorrow?

They are going to take off the Tassie Devil stickers so they can be applied to the new A220 delivery in the hope it attracts crew

YQW's scheduled for Mon 09 Dec:

QF1271 CBR 0605 MEL 0720
QF1272 MEL 0820 CBR 0925
QF1277 CBR 1005 MEL 1120
QF1276 MEL 1200 CBR 1305

Could be around awhile, I hear some crew have been pulled off A220 conversions to be available for 717 service, which seems a retrograde step given A220 flights are running at 50-60% as timetabled

 

[moa999]

Was a post on airliners that it might be able to operate for the whole month, presumably somewhat cycle dependent.

 

[jrfsp]

Maybe the 30 year old F100s will pop over next for a stint

 

[nancypants]

I heard it’s anticipated to run until mid January at this stage

 

[CorporateFlyerMEL]

was on it this morning MEL/CBR - actually more comfortable and room than the A220...perhaps slightly nosier.

 

[Scarlett]

So this would’ve been you @CorporateFlyerMEL on approach to CBR this morning.
