The VARA machines are already doing some ADL-ASP-DRW & ADL-PER.

Or are you talking QQ machines?

How many E190s are now left, and when will the last one depart?

2 left now, ZPH/ZPT.

Around the end of year I hear.

YWD ha a second test flight yesterday but still hasn't added to Aussie Reg.

Can Boeing build them quicker than VA can register them.

...VH-VOR still in service with VAI, doing trans Tasman and South Pac Island work, despite expected "return" to Tigerair in October 2017. Don't know if this is because TT aren't ready to receive it or VA needs it more.

Could be just that the online register database at CASA hasn’t been updated yet - still doesn’t show VZF despite it being transferred some time ago.
