Bob Murphie, Gaunty and others,
Thanks for the clarification regarding the "branding issue" I couldn't understand Bob's concerns so subtlety put initially. The roles of Transair and Aerotropics seemed (seem) clear enough to me from the report.
Anyway, I agree with Jet and Ejector and others that this is all a bit of a diversion. So what if passengers thought they were on an aircraft operated by Aerotropics when it was actually Transair? How many of them would not have boarded the flight had they known? I'm sure some of you Ppruners might have had second thoughts. But the average Jo Blow flying on RPT services around Australia would not have a clue. (With all due respect)
They rely on CASA to ensure the flight is safe - regardless of who operates it or from whom they purchased their ticket. Don't they?
