Welcome Pimp Daddy to the professional pilots RUMOUR bulletin board, there is no room for facts here....Rumour has it that once Eastern has all of Southerns ports on its AOC then there will be no need for a Southern Dash 8 operation..just a base in melb, as for the 146 operation who knows, I think it is lucky to still be in existence, it was not qantas's first choice to move Airlink out of Canberra... <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">
