[Snorzac]

I can't copy and paste the story, the title pretty much sums it up but here is a link to the story:

I take it that VB will retain the larger E types...E-190s??

[Sir Pompously]

E190's should be kept, apparently the 170's do not suit the needs of DJ but the 190's are large enough to suit their needs. They are also removing a few 737-700's from the fleet (3 at this stage) so bye bye stumpy 737's

That's good.

The E 190s are nice to ride in, even on longer flights like Canberra-Adelaide.

Surprisingly spacious too and probably run on the smell of an oily rag.
