Better than flying a C210 at night in the middle of the wet!
Anyway I am sure the -400 will be fine up there. Plenty of smaller a/c do it every day. The wet isn't all that bad. Actually I reckon the worst storms are the frontal ones that hit eastern Oz, especially when combined with the GDR.
Oh as for a/c 8, 9 etc, I thought there was a bit of a waiting list.
And Slipri, a Dash 8 is NOT a Dash 8. As far as I am aware CASA won’t let the same pilots operate 1,2,3 and 400 types.
As for CW. Flying a MPA (ie 200) on looong overwater flights, with 1 T/O & LDG to an hour ratio of about 12hrs (as PF remember), three times a week, is not the same as doing multiple 40-50min sectors for the day.
Either way, when are Sunstate going to change their name to Allstate?
