QANTASLINK Cancels Services to Armidale
QANTASLINK has cut back services to Armidale due to "pilot shortages".
No official press release yet, but heard Armidale Council discussing the cancelling of services on the ABC radio this morning.
Anyone got any more info.

From ABC website:
QantasLink is cancelling six flights between Armidale and Sydney.
The changes will come into affect from next week for three return flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
The member for the Northern Tablelands, Richard Torbay, says the loss of between 200 and 300 seats each week will have an impact on the region.

Contract jobs in Europe for EUR $159 000 a year for Dash 400 drivers. One way to solve problem is contract pilots from O/S , US $12000 a month + car + accomadation and bonus at end of contract. If your in Eastern now , then your time is coming to ask for some more money. The worm is turning.

.......all this means is that the airlines will learn/suffer, the hard way & at the commuters expense! It is indeed a shame that we must go thru this when there is a long term answer, employ enough pilots (which there are plenty) to fill the tasks set by the company in the first place!

I could provide my view on the wisdom of that particular decision, but I suspect it's the subject of another thread somewhere.
