That's right RENURPP, 15-20 years ago... National Jet I think was started by Jimmy-Bow ties' wife when they decided to "farm-out" some regional work, if I remember correctly. (She had her Baron parked in the hangars between what was Ansett Freight apron and their Engineering hangar) I do know that 4 Corners-ABC were silenced for many years over a program they had over it and some foreign pilots.
No-Pulse continued the downward trend when QF bought them out, afraid that Ansett would get their hands on them and expand their reach, then they used that vehicle (excuse the McGowan pun) in a rushed attempt to start a LCC named Pornstar, when they got wind of Spirit Airlines starting out of Avalon. Pornstar had their Media launch the day before Spirits!
... it goes on, suffice to say it may be Cobham now, then Network, then...
