Skywest could get into the FIFO stuff in a fairly big way if they play it right... eventually having 7 50's means they'd have at least one to use on charters and have the other for breakdown redundancy etc (as seems to be the case lately)
Wow ONE surplus F50 they will really make a big dent in the FIFO work with that.
I always did admire the ATC guys n girls sitting there at 0610 watching that bloody big line of Brasilias, Metros, F50s etc...
What exactly did you
admire? Firing them off in sequence is the easy part, sequencing a busy arrival pattern takes a bit more skill but then again flow, melbourne centre and perth approach set all that up for the tower guys, all that remains is ".... clear to land."
