Good'ay Aerosoul. Yes the 146 is an ageing beast. It does the job well enough, but will no doubt give way to other types in time. . .I guess my gripe is the absurd slur from CTS about fumes and kicking 'arse'. This is a tough market at present. Competition is good, but the industry cannot support unlimitted numbers of players. The so called 'Red Rat' people who CTS wishes to kick are hard working people who use the equipment provided by their employer. Many of those pilots have themselves been trampled on in the past and hardly deserve another dose. . .I hope Skywest finds a niche to fill and I wish their staff well. I doubt though that QF or VB will notice them all that much.
