Do Skippers know where they're going?

I hope the map here isn't the one Skippers drivers are using.

Their Monkey Mia pax are going to be a bit upset when they arrive in Learmonth and I'm pretty sure the Kalbarri pax don't want to go to Shark Bay - although according to the map that's where they'll be going!

Good to see that Skippers have also added a few new places into the WA outback - 'Telfa', 'Dortot' and 'Laulers' amongst a few others!

As "WA's Truly Regional Airline" you'd think they'd know the place a bit better than that!

Slightly off topic but I note the skippers schedule lists the airline code as QQ. Isn't this Alliance?? Are there any links between the two?

An indication of the meticulous attention to detail so important for success in a tough aviation market.

The reason for the cost increase is because apart from the normal AFP check, an ASIO check is now undertaken for both pilots and cabin crew.

That map did not last long on the website! "Site not found!"

Someone was listening!

Happy new year all!

That's OK CS - looks like they left another version of it here.

Start timing - I wonder how long this one will last!
