Where does this leave Skywest? With Alliance and Ozjet competing (and winning) in their backyard for FIFO contracts; Tiger on the SIN-PER run soon (let alone SQ and QF) where can they deploy A320 equipment within or without Australia profitably? Economies of scale kick in pretty quickly. Also TD is (was?) on their board so hardly going to advocate competing with Tiger! Meanwhile the minnows are nibbling away from below witness the growth at Maroomba and Network.
Personnel wise there has been a small exodus from the top over the last year or two - Air North has XR's former CEO; Maroomba the Ops Manager; Alliance has the former Fleet Manager F100; and Tiger (interestingly) has their former Head of Training and Checking.
