you must have joined the cunning bitter twisted mob ; aviation has become a rather cynical bitter lot .
not being cynical, the guy hired to do the job, is in hospital, the contract the aircraft is mainly intended for has not been signed either with Air North or the NT governement.
There is a long way to go, and if they do it less than 12 mths I will be amazed.
Maybe, just maybe you guys with rose coloured glasses need to get a dose of reality and then stand back smell the roses and understand its not a matter of pilots wanting it to happen that actually makes it happen.
