Guys,

I don't think (could be wrong) that QF/QLink have leased specific aircraft (ie: VH-UYC).
They would of leased a number of E190's, in QFLink livery and 94PAX.

So, after the fleet settles down (with all the appropriate in livery) they may have an extra a/c in QLink livery as a spare in-case an a/c goes u/s. Also a spare when an a/c is under maintenance. Again that has to be specified in the agreement.

QF has leased (or may need) "ALL" COPA Jets so that QQ can't do anything else with them. That's why the AA birds were added later.

I would be REALLY SURPRISED if QQ repainted a/c with fresh paint.

Of the 14, Qantas have only said that 5 will be painted in full QantasLink colours. Others may remain white or stay in QQ colours. To change from all white to QantasLink would only require a few days at most.

The cabin crew are in QF uniforms and the aircraft have a small “Operated on behalf of QantasLink” sticker by the forward door.

QQ also seem to have stopped using the E190’s to cover for Air North for the moment.

Yes all the white ones will be painted in QFlink livery and the originals will come back to Alliance.VH-UYC is the first of mayby up to 5 coming in all white?..Have heard 3 will just have stickers? So 5 painted in QFlink livery and 3 with stickers.

Alliance have as yet not announced their leasing of aircraft for VA and also for their own RPT scheds and also their fifo.They will need many for those requirements.UYB,Z,W,Y i feel will come back to Alliance to be part of those requirements.

N955UW, has been delivered from ROW to SJO on 5 June. There are now 6 COPA E.190's in SJO and 2 American ones. It would appear that HP-1562 CMP did a SJO/SJO flight on 27 May. Flight Aware showed a 47 min flight but there was no flight showing in the Map area?????

Lets hope the re-painting goes a whole lot smoother than the appalling on-time performance thus far.

HP1557 CMP, the last COPA E.190 for Alliance has completed a test flight PTY/PTY, 12 hours ago on 15 June EST. I guess it will not be long before it ferries to SJO
