bit off topic but it appears to show the cost of doing business in Australia- operating everything from clapped out Navajo's/ 402's to the clapped out pigs and f100/70/50's/ metro's ... no such thing as upgrading to more efficient/ reliable machines when the cost of clapped out machines is so low... surely the cost of maintaining/ fuel cant outweigh the cost of leasing a more modern aircraft?
apparently the E190 uses 2/3 the fuel of the RJ100? not to mention being significantly faster....?
