A little OT but Skystar, if I remember correctly, Sollies had to pay for the Spanish 737 a minimum of 200hrs/mth.
Hence why they ran it every day and thus wanted the frequency to stay the same when that deal died (because they couldn't pay)- then got into the SAW deal and it all went down the drain pretty quickly from there on.
Having flown the BNE/HIR route a fair bit in the past, most of the people I've spoken to do seem to prefer the service that OA provides over the rest.
For such a quiet little (and apparently successful) operator, there is a fair bit of discussion going on!!!!
