Flyingfox, I sympathize with your comments. Under the watch of successive Australian governments aviation in this country has been taken backwards at breakneck speed. Two-bit airline CEO's, a dysfunctional regulator which also has plummeted to all new depths of incompetence and a succession of Aviation Ministers that could only be described as frightfully pathetic and delusional.
I don't know who it is that ultimately pulls the Skywest strings but sure as **** hope they keep employing Aussies and putting some coin into the Aussie economy.
Things could be worse, Joyce could be the controlling interest of Skywest??
