Strategic Airlines
so we'd rather have a foreign registered/owned/crewed aircraft flying our troops to war.
What about the fine folk who work the line at SA?
Why is there a constant baying for company blood on here???????

like the other whiners who complain about the company that pays their wages.
If they don't like it then they should use their democratic right to resign and go elsewhere....

Isnt this thread done....?
SA have lost the ME contract. Adagold was cleared of the accusations made by SA management. So move on.
Lets just let them all get on with their jobs...including the staff at SA who will need to work especially hard now as their funding has stopped and they need to stand on their own.
Good luck to them.

Strategic's 2 buildings in Melbourne are 4 Sale.
Maybe this is an indication that the end is near and the Fat Lady may be gearing up to sing....

or that it's just a commercial property is changing hands and there are some tenants in the building. Nothing unusual.
In the past month, the IASC has allocated Strategic seat capacity to allow them 6 weekly services to Thailand, and capacity to allow 13 weekly flights to Indonesia, up from 3. The Bali allocation only counts from major capitals, TSV and PHE flights are unlimited seat cap.
Like I have said before, it's more and more RPT services over charter. They're about to start flying an additional 11 weekly services to S.E.A. from Aust. Clearly charter is becoming less important to Strategic. It's a major shift that seems to have been missed on this forum.
I make no apology for not commenting on their alleged misdealings and dodgy recruitment policies. I'm fairly cynical, I'm not surprised that a business would have tried to gain an advantage by any means. As long as safety is not compromised, I don't really care.

RPT relies on bums on seats. Charter gets paid the full rate no matter how many pax.
Are they carrying many pax at a good yield? Otherwise poking holes in the sky can be expensive....

I remember some posts stating they had lost BNE-HIR however they are about to increase this route from 3 to 4 a week as well.
I believe the advance bookings on TSV-DPS are excellent.

I have seen some TV ads, albeit on Go so they probably got given it. In PER, they have occasionally done radio and they have a few billboard ads around the place. I understand that on DPS they tend to work a lot with the wholesalers which would keep the loads high.
High wholesale loads is (from my experience) not a good indication of success though... At Alliance the loads on CNS and HTI (the 2004/5? 2x week services) were almost always full - but that stopped almost as quickly as it began (not sure why - can only assume there was not much $$ in it compared to the mines). That said, it was nice to have 'female' passengers under the age of 65 while it lasted (with the mines and norfolk the main ops back then - they were pretty rare!)

What grounded planes? No flights cancelled that I can see.

The PER-DPS Bali holiday market is booming at the moment but it's also brutal and will chew up and spit out airlines in a downturn. Look at Air Paradise and Ozjet. Obviously there's an Ozjet connection to Strategic, so they know what they're getting into.
Once all the airlines implement their new seat capacities, on PER-DPS there'll be 69 flights and nearly 13000 seats weekly between QZ, GA, JQ, DJ & VC. That's enough to send the entire population of Perth to Bali every 3 years. And there was talk of Batavia or Lion starting flights too. And that's just ex PER.

Fingers crossed that no fanatics try out their amateur chemistry experiments in the local clubs and restaurants then, otherwise there will be a lot of spare capacity in a heartbeat...

But don't worry everyone, Dodgy's on the scene to tell us all how shockin it is..... and they even did one of them charter substitution thingies to keep their pax movin..... that's it - I'm callin the cops.
Hey Dodgy, ya better get over to that Skywest site, I heard those buggers might have a bit of extra maintinence on that big bird of theirs cause of hydralics or sumthin. Don't worry about Qantas but, cause I'm sure everythin's good over there. That sort of stuff never happens to them.
