I flew a 731 Jetstar years back and I have to admit it was one the, if not the best flying aircraft I have ever flown.
Now having said that, it was a maintenance nightmare. It had about a 20% mission completion record and this was 15 years ago with a full time maintenance crew. It loved runways, really, really long runways.
So rather than waste space here I'll just say that I agree with everybody else that posted on the problems of trying to operate a Jetstar II today.
