XR carry an engineer due to the unreliability of the Fokkers, sometimes they are great but other bad.

I remember a couple of years ago, i think it was one of the reasons they now carry engineers on some flights.

A full load of passengers got stuck in Bali from Port Hedland for a day or 2 and nothing was done about it and there was a big uproar and there was no good publicity for skywest out of that one.

I believe OzJet have a payload on the PER-DPS service of over 9.5T. PER-DPS is around 7.7 block hours return and no tech stop is required.

As for interviews, I think they may have already occured and a ground school is starting soon. No money up front for the endorsement, just a bond you have to pay out if you leave within a certain period of time.

They may not need a tech stop, but looking at their passenger loads for the past couple of days... less than 20 paxs PER-DPS, they could do with a few passenger stops.

I suspect it's a charter deal, meaning that it isn't ozjet shouldering the risk... Then again, 20 pax on a gas-guzzling 732 to DPS is going to lose someone a lot of money fast...

It is a charter op... read the ad..."Island Bound Holidays" - it's their flight, not OzJet's... much in the same way Island Bound are (were??) doing with Skywest.
