QF/Network had a problem, how long would the mining boom last ?
There competitors (QQ,VARA,REX) were flying "newer" airframes.
So to stay in the market (cost efficient, "newer" frames) they had to "upgrade to something". A319 was a good fit for the flights that don't fill an A320 and minimum crew retraining.
I've read that they may only be around for 5 years until they work out where the WA charter market is heading. It it is a good fit they may get more frames.
From my previous post, they are expecting 4 frames at this time.
