FIFO offers nothing to the local community, they are a burden on infrastructure (partners not working local shops, have to import labour) all the money leaves town and is spent elsewhere.
That was precisely my point in post #10, however, it doesn't stop there; two places get screwed up, the source AND the destination.

The only people who win are the Air operators (not a bad thing) and the State govmints who get out of their responsibility to generate regional infrastructure.
