Wow, such a lot of testosterone. So you start up an airline that operates into 2 very tricky airports (out of a total of 5), 1 of which has a black star rating from IFALPA.
My point is not that Queenstown and Wellington are the trickiest airports in the world.
My point is: do you start an operation into these airports with a mixture of; time on type and never operated there, and no time on type and have operated there??
On that note, the most experienced Queenstown guys from within the Qantas group have been basically told to shove off. ie the Christchurch based Jetconnect guys!!
