Good point. Something has to go very wrong for JQ metal to be operating a QF route. Still holding a regional route as most likely cause.
It's a bit precious complaining about getting an economy connection on AU domestic regional routes given how little difference there is between Y and J class on QF's CRJ and 717 fleet (if there even is multiple classes at all). Were they expecting a lie flat? Pretty sure that's only on east to west coastal routes.
I've gotten economy connections on in-alliance TPAC routes before with NZ, it's a common thing.
