So to put it another way (as Sunfish says in every post/lecture) has Pearl let go of the ex NTAM drivers, or are they still being paid 90k per year to do a rumoured flight a month? Is careflight still chartering hardy to do the runs in a C441 on a daily basis?
I hope Pearl get it back, private NT company, locally owned and operated and a local NT contract.
What happened with Careflight and the emergency landing the other night? Hit a Wallaby did they
I suppose anything can happen in a country that loves to sell itself out. Look at what the QLD government did by awarding the subsidized routes to REX, when a local QLD company (read Westwing) should have got them.
