And from the rumour network out west, the job rate seems to have dropped from when the "smaller, slower and not as good" operator was on the job. Apparently due to the "drop dead hour" as dictated by the FAID system. Jobs knocked back because they will go past 1845 local. Overnights in Sydney (who pays for that) because of the same. At least the VFR Koala could and would fly in the dark (weather permitting).
Also sounds like at least one of the ASNSW employees has bailed and gone to work for an NGO.
