The never ending search for a cheaper contractor is a sick joke. Witness the demise of Airlines of SA , MMA , Air Queensland, National Jet ,LLoyd Aviation etc. etc. Now , sadly many more will follow in their wake. Creative destruction! The free market has done its work. Services to regional Australia are worse than the were 30 years ago. Brilliant.
