A PUS for structural corrosion would be a world's first 
Even a Special Flight Permit would be extremely tough to get, given that they are issued so that you can fly a defective aircraft to a location where the maintenance can be performed, not issued to fly an aircraft out of a suitable maintenance location with the defect still present.
What would be the justification to CASA?

Sorry Checker old cock.... The deal was that I'd find a "new tree" if I was wrong. This was the wager that all those who were so intent on proving me wrong insisted upon. 
Wombat.... I reckon the answer to your enlightend question would be...... the entire staff of Skywest and probably all of Skywest's clients that were told "don'y worry about your capacity needs, we are getting an A320". To name just a few.

Righto..... I've had enough!!!
You guys send Skystar 320 and XRLent over to the Strategic thread to give my mates a bashing. Time for you guys to take some.
I'll tell ya..... IT'S STILL IN THE hangar!. JHAS have let slip that it will probably never come out servicable and compliant to this country's airworthiness rules. It is still grounded, just as I said it would be when you lot were out there telling industry, and everyone here, that it would be operational by the end of July. Now that's what I call "misleading".
Skystar 320 is over on the Strategic site talking about misleading statements. Well how about the misleading statements in this place.....
"Don't worry Mr. Mining Company, all your comany's extra travel needs are under control because we have a wonderfull shiny new A320 coming next week. QF, Virgin and SA don't need to help you because we are the answer to all your needs"
What cr@p. The hangar queen remains their until CASA can decide if they'll let those rocket scientist managers at XR have a permit to position it to sit against the fence in Perth to rot away while those same dills work out what to do with a multi-million dollar lemon.
I see so many of you pontificating on how much time the A320's of SA sit on the ground. I think your's holds the record boys. Clearly the 82% load factor at SA is just killing you. Well get used to it boys.
TID EDIT.

evilC / Clive / Ex CASA,
Mate, have you ever thought the reason Skywest people are commenting on the Strategic thread is in retaliation to your complete bull#$%t that you've posted on this thread.
Your happy to comment on other peoples CRM yet with a temper like yours maybe you need to look at yourself. It's almost like you've taken a turn for the worse over the last couple of days.
Once again you've gone in and made accusations about things you have no idea about. I know for a fact that Skystar does not work for Skywest. In fact I think you'll find he's not a Pilot like you assume.
Maybe with your great contacts you should find out exactly what's happening to the Skywest A320 and realise if it wasn't for a few mishaps over at JHAS the aircraft would be on the AOC and flying by now. All the paperwork is done from flight ops side, they are just sorting out some previous tech issues and it'll be up and running.
Your last couple of posts on this thread and the Strategic thread show a person under great strain.

Wait till his boss fat boy and SA find out he is posting 
. You sound like a petulant little child
Agreed Mr Hat.
And lets also state that Skywest offer the best conditions (not necessarily wage related) of employment out of any Airline in Australia.
Rather than keeping your fingers crossed for them to fail, be positive in the fact that they will succeed. Remember, it was not long ago people were full of scorn when the F100 was announced. Now they have 9!
I tip my hat to Skywest, (the last surviving Ansett culture in AU) the management generally engages staff and recently with the threat of redundancies with the GFC the group got together and looked after it's own.

Mr Hat, surprise to you but there was talk of the SALPA (Skywest Airlines Pilots Assoc) sending the chairperson to the meeting you refer to, to show support for a united Pilot body. Using funds from the Significant SALPA war chest. Unfortunately with the conclusion of over 2 years of negotiations and subsequent vote on a new agreement the Committe were a tad busy.

Bali RPT?
Skywest posts $7.46m profit - WA Business News
About 2/3rds of the way down this article about money and profits is mention of their AOC being amended to include the A320, then this:
The plot thickens.
Not sure if this relates directly to the Airbus in particular, so apologies.
About 2/3rds of the way down this article about money and profits is mention of their AOC being amended to include the A320, then this:
The Airline's AOC was recently amended to include Denpasar, Bali (Indonesia) as a passenger and cargo destination port for its Regular Public Transport Operations. Previously, the Airline was entitled to fly passengers to and from Denpasar on a charter basis only. This extended AOC entitles the Airline to sell commercial, non-charter tickets on routes to that port. The Company understands that, since more than 50% of its shareholder base is Australian, the Airline may be eligible for an Australian International Airline Licence making it possible for the Airline to apply for the inclusion of other international ports in the South East Asian region. To this end, the Airline is now in the process of applying to include the route of Broome-Singapore to its AOC.
