Be careful flying VFR coastal down that way as the 146 seems to climb to about 6000 for the entire route sector.
What does that mean? Be careful because there is an aircraft at 6000 feet flying Karratha to Barrow? Be careful because you normally are not? Fly at a VFR level not at 6000'? Are you implying that the 146 should fly higher for the 77nm (18 minute flight)?
Priceless.
I think you will find there is a 146 based in Karratha
I think that
you will find that SimonB was referring to the Qantaslink contract changing from 146 to 717. Which is correct. In fact it used to be called Airlink then became Qantaslink. The 146 was NOT replaced by 737 aircraft but by B717 aircraft, the 737 are mainline.
