Uncle Koru wouldn't give two hoots if he lost some NM drivers to PB. The Link carriers make all the dosh yet they get treated like the retarded cousin who no one can be assed with...
I reckon the ranks would empty pretty quick if another ATR operator came on the scene. All type rated ready to go and have a command while you're at it. Cheers.
