They are a group of highly trained F/A's who are proud of their contribution to the ADF.
Charlton has made a poor showing of the Solomon Islands operation (their ERJ shambles) and would not like to see him in charge of an ADF contract with an A340. What a mess that would be.
The ADF audits have been very complimentry to date for the present operation; & trust that it will continue for a long time to come.
And who's aircraft would a new operator use? Anyone talking to Luke Butler of late?
