they have taken all the details off their website, but from memory:

About 600 pound return to Perth (you can get it cheaper from a lot of full service carriers including Malaysian, QF and SQ if you book online in advance!)

Flying L1011's - do I need to say more? no individual IFE, old crappy planes - do they even meet Oz noise requirements?

No alcohol allowed or served on flights??? Ok, if they are going for a no-frills type service thats cool , -yet- what backpacker in their right mind would do 20 odd hours without a beer?

No frequent flyers points/ alliance with other carriers.


You guys are wondering if they will take prosepctive cabin crew for a ride? Jeeps! I am wondering who would ever fly this outfit, they must be after a 'small religious-cult-demographic' who dont believe in Movies and Alcohol... and all (so it would seem from their website a few weeks ago) for the same money (if not more), than airlines with free grog, video on demand, frequent flyer points and all the nice trimmings

They're dreaming if they think this will attract any customers, and if new crew wish to do money on this mob, then let it be on their own heads
