Well the poster has got some credit right, with most other commodities dropping in price rather rapidly and we have seen Mt Keith & Ravensthorpe scale back & shut down.

Whereas most of Skippers contracts are gold mining companies and with the price holding up well they look to be at the best FIFO company yet...

Consider that most of the fleet apparently is owned outright, with turboprops cheaper to operate than jets.

Even if conditions are 'mad' [ dunno can't comment, never worked their] atleast you could be led comfortable that your job is probably more secure than others....
