PX doesn't want APNG's tired aircraft,nor do we want Toomey !
Well you don't have to worry about Toomey these days, he is 'absolutely' a long way away from PNG and Australia. However APNG did get the Skytrans CEO and his chief footstool, the former Skytrans HOFO. You boys at APNG ought to do some really thorough research on these two and their time at Skytrans

What the report highlights is the way that some operators have been operating incorrectly for years, what I'm specifically referring to is the co-pilot not being instrument rated. APNG is not the only operator who has put non instrument rated pilots in their RH seats, in an effort to fulfill the requirements to operate IFR.
You're correct, they aren't the only ones to do it. Unfortunately though their accident record including the deaths of around 90 people over 10 years is disgraceful. But of course the MD lives a life luxury in Australia and remains totally unaccountable.
