no news from the search.
you are all mentioning things that make sense, but the truth is that GA
evolves around old planes, with equipment on board that is not adequate for the job (still legal with just 2 adf's on board and just a 155 gps and no radar) to fly in the wet season at the top end at night, most of the time underpaid, and so on .
the truth is that is up to everyone to say NO instead of barking here where no one can hear you.
If we are not happy, simply we have to say no, and no one operator can operate without pilots.
pure utopia, because there will be always who says yes.
