I believe Air Atlanta did a reasonable job at one time. Nice young ladies as well so I hear.
Absolutely right, particularly regarding the nice young ladies. Unfortunately their aircraft were old 747s that had been retired from the charter world and although still pretty reliable were struggling.

Oh and 'down south' makes it sound so wary considering its a good way of getting out of a proper operational tour.
Careful THS there are still a good many people around who get to do both. You can, quite rightly, no longer volunteer for the Falklands in the hope of getting out of a desert tour but it is still an OOA of either 4 or 6 months and whilst no one is shooting at you it still puts stresses and strains on peoples lives.
