So hows the first week going?
Getting plenty of support from the locals?

Well with an arrival into Adelaide of 1030 and a dep ex ADL of 1600, reckon the Port Augusta locals might think they have been gipped, compared to the old ASA schedule.
Whyalla services should still be doing well.

O'Connor in trying to use one plane and one assumes the one pilot from the Mildura flights are heading down the same path as their Renmark experiment in 2001, which saw from memory sim sorts of times,. That didnt work then, times and easier to drive???, and given that Port Augusta has got real planes with 2 drivers only 45 mins down the road and with 4 services a day, 3 - 6 months might be the life span.

ex Adelaide traffic might just like it, although the arrival into PUG of 0935 is still pretty late for the professional market, and if MQL is running late the knock on effect will be evidnet.
