Noe worries mate
Yeah, funny if you look at it like that I guess.
I don't think anyone is trying to f**k Paul Stoddart up but I think he has seriously misjudged the market. The airline appears valueless as it stands and I think Paul runs the risk of losing his credibility over it. The AOC isn't worth anything to anybody because new CASA rules require new corporate responsibilities to be part of holding the AOC. So if Ozjet gets new owners, they will have to demonstrate to CASA everything that Paul had to do.
What I would do if I were Paul, is run only one service each way in the morning and the afternoon and do that every day 365 days a year.

Use 2 aircraft and keep a third as a spare. (He owns them so no big deal.)
No Brisbane or Adelaide etc.
Crews are paid by the hour Casual.
F**k I was doing paid-by-the-hour in Vietnam so its not bad once you are used to it. Regular ops allows flexibility to do other work.
