Was driving through Toowoomba last month while on holiday back home in Oz when I noticed a nice looking Citation on the ramp. Called in to have a closer look and met two pilots in the "terminal". We got chatting to discover that neither was the jet jockey but one of them was waiting for Arthur's Navajo to come in from the west. Their duty day is so long out to the rigs in central Oz that they can't operate the whole flight so this poor ****** got off early in the morning and spent the day at Twb's cheapest motel before taking over for the last leg of the day back to Brisvegas. Summary - a thirteen hour day for one hour in the logbook and a hundred bucks before you buy your lunch!
I don't think so.
And yes, the same old plane that Arthur had when I was doing rig pig runs in the Conquest back in 1993 arrived minutes later.
You can do better.
