SAW needs a passenger friendly schedule because the current departure from BNE is 6am,check in 4am and unless you are within 15min from the airport then your wake-up call can be around 03:15.....If you had a
choice between a 6am or a 9:30 departure(ie Solomon Airlines........no pun intened)then 9:30 will get the majority of pax.
SAW has not thought through their schedule properly they need to compete in every way possible with IE.
