Bad bad justa dash being a comedian. There is no silver lining, there are no investors, the turd has lost all of its polish and the curtain is close to being drawn. The schoolteacher has yet again excelled herself. Even the Cardboard Cutout has been busy lately in his white ute, wearing his white shirt, and ferry aircraft spares to and from the Cairns airport to an offsite shed. Seems they don’t want all those expensive parts at the airport, I wonder why? There are still some items for sale on Gumtree but the Taipans balloon has gone. Did REX buy it?
Word is they will fold in the first week of January. They have virtually no contracts left, mining companies are trying to avoid them, the QLD state Government don’t want to touch them and even if they were to pick up more work they don’t have the skills left to manage things, with the schoolteacher and Simon trying to be managers. REX is hungry and is already eyeing off Skytrans other ports. Supposedly the Gladstone boy leaves in January also. But not to fear, Dejapoo is heading back to run the APNG ATR fleet program. After his previous pineappling by Susan Nixon (well done Susan) he is back to join old friends Murapee and TCAS. As usual he bellowed and threw his weight around the Maroomba offices and it is now time to go. It’s a bit like the Blues Brothers and ‘they’re getting the band back together’. Should be interesting as neither of these three are big fans of safety! Will they bring back Slippery as well? Might as well.
As for Simon ‘retiring’ from being an APNG director, that is strategic. More than likely got something to do with the fact that both of his ventures have gone down the gurgler and particularly with APNG it is time to get rid of the old and incapable and bring in new blood. However as long as TCAS and Murapee are there then things will never fully improve. Simon is also a very weak man and would be scared that with the post accident finding in regards the Dash crash he would be trying to distance himself from any potential time in the big house. Run way Simon run away!!!
From a consumer perspective, nearly all who were serviced by Skytrans out this way are very sorry to see them lose the TMR gig.
Keep dreaming mate.
is Skytrans for sale ? Rumours abound.
If so, what assets does it have ?
Are all remaining aircraft leased ?
AOC must be worth something.
1. Who would buy such a lemon?
2. Nil assets. All planes are sold or leased. Simon has restocked the super fund, paid mum back her money and paid the huge tax bill.
3. Same as point 1.
4. AOC is worth nothing. It is a piece of paper only redeemable to Skytrans. It is non-transferable and cannot be on-sold.
