Alliance is at least staying away from what Skywest did, and that is move heavily into RPT rather than stick to its FiFo base.
My recollection back to the Jetstream and Fokker 50 days was that RPT was the BASE for Skywest, not FIFO. That came later. There was only ONE jet charter operator at Perth airport and that was NJS. Alliance started with one F100 to Mt Keith. Skywest were late to the FIFO party.
