Looks like Westwing are starting up operations in the Torres Straits. Just saw on AFAP they are looking for 'van and Bongo drivers in the Torres Straits on a fly in/fly out basis. It was only a matter of time I'd have thought as they'd been operating out of the ex-Troppo's offices for a while now doing the mail runs. The locals up in the Straits will be happy.

On another note it appears that they are having some trouble getting their B1900's up and running. Rumour has it that a recent ground school wasn't done very well and they have to do it all over again. Either way interesting times ahead in early 2009 I'd say!

Regional's Bongo's have been parked up in Cairns for a few months now, not sure what happened with the drivers.

Apparently all employed elsewhere.....I hear GAM, Pel Air, Rex, and the RPA Brasilia.
