Stationair, is the 146 going to replace the 737 altogether on the MEL - tassie runs?
Now that Air Trade have J* they can now push more freight onto J* as room allows. So I can see the load for the 737 decreasing.
ATR in tassie, believe that when i see it. Isn't the ATR already used else where?
Funny, the first night that AAE had the Toll freight again there aircraft when U/S and it didnt go.

Believe BAE-146 to replace some of if not most of the B737 services for the time being.
Doubt if you will see the ATR's in Tasmania, Toll aren't keen to get anymore at this stage the story goes.
May see the odd GAM DO-228 down that way if extra capacity is required.

Yeah heard that one too, Easter Bunny told me, ran into him while I was on a date with the tooth fairy. I know I shouldn't, but I've got a thing for wings...

There was a push to get Pionair to depart LST in the early hours, as VB freight (or what ever there new name is) could have filled the aircraft with all the fish products, boxed flowers and other stuff.
I was told that PA did ask there crews to relocate to Tas, but they said no (dont know if that is true or not)

There was talk of them sourcing another two or three C580's for freight work, including another one to be based in Tasmania.
Didn't they lease the old Airlines of Tasmania hangar for spares and engineering staff?
