This "Incident" will be punching a hole in their pax uplift figs . .
Looking at their flights tomorrow on their top city pairs
SYD - Albury/Wagga/Dubbo and Orange and reading between the lines.
It looks like they are cancelling/consolidating flights to me.
REALLY - Who would fly on their 340’s now, unless they absolutely had to - after this.
Another 340 of similar age/cycles may encounter the same thing.
Why tempt fate.
Prior to CASA report is released.

Tim, you are a troll on hotcopper as the 'yoda of lithium' and a troll here.
I seriously doubt any of your claims to be a commercial pilot on either forum.
You are dealing with people's careers and reputations - from all we currently know the crew did a professional job under pressure and your ill informed sniping as a keyboard warrior expert is way out of line.
At least Ben Sandilands was a mensch and corrected himself and apologised. That says at least something.
You however are just trolling here like you do on other forums because you thrive on being controversial. Enough.

For all their faults they are dealing with one of those good old "unknown unknowns" as best they can, kudos to the guys in the front.
Spinex, thanks but no thanks. I've read enough (well, too much actually) of old mates nonsensical crud in this thread already, no point looking for more! I've got other things to keep me better entertained.

Tim with no due respect!
This is an engine issue not an airframe issue. The engines get overhauled and also changed often.
This engine could be as little as a few months old - I don't know, do you?
You would really look more of a fool if this was actually a brand new engine 9 days old (since fitment) with a total time of 22.3 hours.

Just been looking at REX's financials. From a semi layman’s view - they don’t look great. Check for yourself on the ASX code REX
Sure however they are spending the money they need, to keep their ageing 340's in tip top condition.
I wouldn’t be surprised if VA or QF are waiting in the wings to snap up.
To recapitalise a new feeder fleet, for their mainline networks.

Since you looked, can you confirm the amounts of political donations to Labor and Liberal party's?

Gerhard Neumann's office wall bore a sign:
No man is totally useless; He can always serve as a bad example.
You are right, he is not a pilot and he is not a professional in anything he does!

Getting back on thread - aside from a big bang and sudden yaw - can anyone explain what the immediate signs on the flight deck might be that a prop had departed a turboprop engine?
Would you notice a sudden jump in N1 and N2 speed on the affected engine - change in oil pressure?

Forgive my confusion but there's something not quite right about this from the ABC, my bold.

The first officer saw the propeller separate and travel horizontally upwards and away from the aircraft.
