Worrals is correct. Only one 'wheels up', in BNE.
Three CEO's in a couple of years is interesting, however you may find that there is a level of frustration at that level because you are trying to run an AOC with funding from a predominately trucking and logistics company. The parent group doesn't neccesarily understand that aviation systems and requirements are different to trucking systems.
Regardless, it would still be amusing to see the angry man come back!!

As always, great painting. :ok:
Is there a lighting outage at the airport though? ;)
EDIT: just realised that's not YBBN. Which port is it?

With that kind of centre line maintenance on departure I'm pretty sure I know who the pilot is too :E

Or maybe too much time playing with trucks and not aeroplanes for CASA's liking.
I had a drink with a guy that was considering the role but decided against it... his assessment was that this position is "a scapegoat for a control freak manager without the slightest clue about commercial aircraft operations" and "not much of a salary package either"!
Pity I thought they were a pretty good outfit.
Would anyone have some up to date information about Toll? (such as internal progression, packages, roster?)
I could not find much info about them.
PM is fine
Thanks!
