halas,
Interesting you brought up the Amman aviation sideshow, I remember watching them painting the aircraft in the new Coastwatch colours in the open in 20kt winds, a real Professional outfit.
From the day Skywest acquired HC Sleigh until Skywest Aviation was sold off the Pearl, they never actually won another contract, they only lost them.

BMR
Coastwatch

Aeromed in the NT was Pearl, acquired from NTAS, it was never part of Skywest.
