Technology has improved, instead of ferrying a team for meetings simply logon to the Google Hangout etc..I flew charters in the 90s, it was a full time gig moving people around for meetings, interviews etc...These days almost any company will go to any length to avoid travel expense.
Rex and Qlink took most of the regional traffic across the smaller populations also. People seem to get sucked in by that Qantas Frequent Flyer points scheme also...little guys had no chance.
