Growler, the benefits of buying a basket case like Ozjet would only be strategic in nature; pardon the pun. To keep someone else out of something that could be profitable in the future. Maybe contracts coming up with a couple of mining companies and a government department which all need air transport to remote locations? Some locations being surrounded by ocean? Some locations being close to a long runway under RAAF control?
But from all accounts the opportunity to do that is now gone. Thanks to old Nick.
