Aqua, could just be GT factor my friend.

There was a massive article with the Fokker is it in the recent Australian Aviation. I think you'll find Alliance are the leaders in the F100 world.

Yes, a couple of mining clients were not impressed after the contracts were signed only to find that Skywests' "modern jet aircraft" cannot fly in IMC to some mine sites due to a lack of GNSS.

All they had to do was copy Alliance and put 2 stand alone Trimble GPS's connected to 2 5" screens and problem solved.

Skywest seeks Broome-Singapore rights
Monday, 30 August 2010
The Singapore-based parent of Australia's Skywest Airlines says it expects to post a S$7.46 million net profit after tax for the 2010 financial year.
Unaudited results showed revenue of S$178 million in 2010.

The WA regional carrier also wants to operate flights between Broome, WA and Singapore and also is looking at other Australian domestic routes including to the country's east coast.

What about monthly flying being increased to 80 hrs a month? Has the productivity threshold been changed?

Would like to hear more about the EBA. Don't want to start a separate thread. 15% over 3 sounds like a reasonable deal.

When enough is enough: Australian jobs for Australian pilots

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.
Can we assume SALPA and the TWU will be present to support Australian jobs in Melbourne on the 27th?

I'm guessing that the answer to that lies in the Fortescue decision to put all their aviation needs up for open tender.

Skywest A320

seems a crazy amount of time to have the bus just sitting at MEL.

Surely they could have had it doing something.

Who's paying for it to just sit ?

DJ probably could have used it yesterday & today !!!

Did Skywest think they were going to be flying the A320 a lot for Fortescue ?
