GA It's fcuking awesome that an Aussie company can move forward in aviation.
Personally, I wouldn't have phrased quite like that, but I can agree with the sentiment. What Jetgo have achieved is remarkable – any where in the world; but even more so to have done it in Australia. The blood, sweat and tears alone needed to achieve finance credibility and finding a financier with the "vision" to back an Australian aviation enterprise, speaks of remarkable abilities and a rock solid business plan. Having managed to find the dollars, next comes the AOC challenge; the costs are staggering, the difficulties even with a realistic CASA team, first class "library" and even with all the ducks in a neat row it's no easy task; definitely not one for the feint hearted or amateur dreamer.
Having achieved so much they still have to survive and prosper in a tough environment. I'm with Jack – put envy and the tall poppy clippers aside. Credit where it's due and a Fair go for Jetgo.
