2. Something about a couple of DASH 8-300's and no AOC to operate them.
3. One of the GA FIFO operators at Perth getting a 50-70 seat jet (this is a rumour I heard, any truth to it)
4. With the 717's taking over on the RPT, how many 146/RJ's will be left operating in WA on FIFO contracts with NATJET.
Thanks for the info/gosip or whatever.
If this has been done before, feel free to let me know the links.

I know this is off topic but im new here & I cant seem to find where to post a new topic! I would like to point out there was a morning where RWY 06 was in ops only due to easterly wind & there was quite a traffic jam first thing in the morning! Now I understand A330,747,777,737, back tracking from juliet for a full length departure & F100,dash 8,bras using a juliet departure! Now my question is why on earth do all the lighties like BE76,C441,Navajo,Barons etc back track for a full length departure when the RWY is 2163m in TDA????? and rotate before the intersection!Bringing the airport to agrinding hault! do these guys have a A330 complex or something? when they are gonna land on a runway half the length.I see this all the time & it just adds to the congestion.
