Will Network paint the F100s in a Qantas livery? Is Jetstar getting any more A321s?

They do have 9 more on order, but I don't know when they are going to be delivered.

Great news that they are expanding on many fronts, more 717s was a suprise as they sold a few to Hawaiian not long ago. I thought they were going to get rid of the type. They could deploy them on MEL-LST and start MEL-AYQ. Only 1 extra A330 for JQ will only give them limited oportunities they could use a lot more. They need to make MEL-BKK up to daily, could even start MEL-NRT or will they use it to ATH and FCO from SIN.

I was surprised too about the 717s, considering 3 went to Hawaiian not long ago.

At the time the 717's that went to Hawaiian were expensive leases, so it was more economical to let them go. It has always been a issue having those 3 gone. Will be good to have another 2 B717's in the fleet.
