Airways, Phoenix, John Corrells, Nicholas Skyways, Jayrow, Pipair, Peter Bini and numerous others that came after I stopped frequenting Moorabbin. Essendon and Bankstown the same.
Some still going fine, some rebadged or taken over and still here in another form.

Be interesting to compare the numbers employed pre-COVID with those employed in earlier years.

Depends on the context of what he said to you. I said the same about some charity flights - more than happy to fly them even after some years have passed but I'm not going to chase them. Gee, until a year or so ago, most vouchers expired after a year and many Finance Managers would say the same - ever tried to use an expired movie voucher?
