A response to Rudder.
Rudder,
You are correct that Strategic operate as a Charter Broker but lets give them some credit. Their operations have the approval of the authorities, they may use foreign AOC yet they comply and continue to pay their bills and thus deserve some credit.
Their previous association with Ozjet would have terminated in mid 2008.
Strategic in general have the experience, changes have taken place over the past few years which may find their team stronger than most expect.
It will be their decision to get together with the Oz-Heavy operation. One can see the passenger gain once all aircraft are operational. For freight, it may take time to see the aircraft available, if ever???
Tks
