Mexicana now officially dead.

At last the OW website can remove Mexicana's name-

A Mexican judge has declared Mexicana de Aviacion, one of Latin America's oldest airlines, bankrupt and ordered the sale of the debt-ridden company's assets.
The company, founded in 1921, had suspended its operations in August 2010 and was under a form of bankruptcy protection allowing the company to negotiate with creditors and make restructuring plans.
Investors expressed interest in the company but a financial rescue never materialised despite extensions given by the court to provide the company more time to find a solution.

That's a shame. Would have been nice if even a small part of it could have been saved and joined OW.

It's a shame that another old airline has disappeared forever.

Do they have more 717s for QFlink to buy?

There are no planes to buy, FWIW the 717s run by Qantas are leased from Boeing capital, Mexicanas fleet was leased so it's well and truely gone, unless you want some twenty year old A320s.

Vh-YQW is due soon and is in fact the last 717 ever built and has appropriate titles for its new home.

Would be lovely if they kept the OneWorld stuff down the fuselage.
