Time to grab the tiller and set the ship straight again for those that obviously have no idea about ferry flights, training flights, proving flights, private flights and commercial operations.
JetGo have been conducting both training and proving flights with CASA on board observing the crew actions are in accordance with their published manuals.
As the company is yet to get its AOC, it is quite obvious that the training and proving flights are conducted as a private operation.
These flights have taken in multiple ports and sectors where the crew have been observed in real world operating conditions. Cobham did it a few weeks back when they brought the 717 back to Brisbane. Tiger did numerous flights to satisfy the above requirements (twice now) all as a private operation until they received their AOC.
What these guys are doing is not easy, if it was everyone would have a jet AOC. The reality is that you can count on one hand the number of new jet AOC's that have been issued by CASA in the last 2 decades.
So think before you make that next key stroke, the JetGo boys and girls are hard at work actually doing it, as opposed to the vast majority who have a word but dont have a show.
If you feel like shooting down your fellow aviators from the sideline with biased or as displayed in this thread, by a distinct lack of knowledge.
Then sure if it makes you feel like a big man have a dig, but you only look like a friday night fool in front of everyone else here.
Play the Ball, Not the Man. and right now, the JetGo boys are the only ones playing the Ball. To date they have been hitting 6's out of the park with not a peep from the department, which is a lot more than most people can say.
Actions speak a lot louder than words and JetGo are letting their plane do the talking.
