if above article is correct & they've picked up a few A333s on very cheap leases, they could use both in peak season heavily & in low season, not so much, when other aircraft are being serviced.

Wondering if there are any FJ Sydney commuters who could share any thoughts or info. on what it’s like working with FJ. (typical rosters etc would be appreciated.)
Thanks

I have never worked for FJ however several buddies have worked there, and there is one common thread that all have mentioned without exception.Expats apparently are not welcomed by the local pilots and if you are in the left seat you can expect a hostile guy on the right seat, making your job quite uncomfortable.Its much worse in the right seat with a local PIC, usually very very hostile.

Second to last sentence...7 out of 22 locals...I wonder how many of those were SOs straight out of training?

Cheap leases don’t usually exist in the South Pacific.
In the past expat unable to upgrade.
