"I hear the B1900 going into Cobar, that will now be done by the Saab?"

Doubt it very much. 30 uncrewed sectors today alone. Weekends are becoming a nightmare for staff, with absolutely no improvement in sight. Poor old Cobar has lost it's service for good. you can have all the SAABs in the world, but it's not much good if you don't have enough pilots to fly them.

Over the coming months REX will be forced to further "rationalise" it's network. Ports far more profitable than Cobar I'm afraid will be coming under the knife.

But it's OK, "...by years end we will have a surplus of pilots."!
