Friend of mine who works at the Kooly minesite emailed me the other day and said they turfed skippers for Skywest after their prang at Kooly a few weeks ago.
Flying into Windarling then bus back to Kooly (100km).
Boys/Girls at our minesite starting to grumble as well, in particular about the availability of aircraft, and the state of them.
When i tell them these aircraft (conquest) are approaching 30 years old, they shiiiivvveerrrrr, which almost turns to frosbite when they hear about incidents like Kooly.
And the availability, anybody at Skippers enlighten me as to what the deal is?
You see, we finish Thursday afternoon but dont fly out until well into the next morning.
I didnt think Skippers were that busy, as we were told there were absolutely no other slots available. Even rang after we found out about Kooly, nope, nada, no other slots.
