Hows about getting back on topic?

Roma, better yet why are we sitting here wining about this operator when 9/10 of you will be applying for a job in years to come with them (for those who who have made it).

They have a great product clearly in the charter market, and are establishing themselves in the RPT world! Good luck to them, more flying for us

Seriously second to a nobody????

Whats is it to you any way? you really are just throwing it out there again aren't you now.....
I'm not sure
Indecision???
Bear in mind
Opinion
The cost to set up a route must be substantial
Opinion
it will not be difficult for the other operators
Opinion
I think the emotion
Opinion
I think these guys are holding out
Opinion

I hope that comfy chair of yours is good because all you do is sit in it and throw out unqualified statements of yore.

You seem to be so opinionated about one organisation yet you dont have any skin in the game what-so-ever.

The company is giving it a go, employing more people, picking up others that had been made redundant, they have out lasted everything thing that has been said about them..... yet you seem to have a strangely intense focus on this mob...... why? what is it to you? envy? jealousy? or are you just they typical grass cutter that cant stand to see anyone do better than yourself as you cant seem to move along in life.

If you are so concerned I know u obviously have a working knowlege of their website, give them a call, I am sure they will take all your opinions on board....... for a price.

Better still why dont you call qantas and let them know how well Whyalla-Adelaide is going to do, especially give that they are up against a 5 per day competitor with a lower cost base..... I am sure they are waiting for your opinion as well.

Keep throwing those opinions out there, I sure that you will answer yourself soon enough. Meanwhile let the company get on with actually being an operating aviation company, employing people, paying bills & taxes and moving joe public form A to B with out going somewhere they dont really want to along the way.

Word is JG now playing the man in Tamworth to get fees reduced below cost.
I don't know where you are getting the "word" Mouse, but it appears the contrary. Half the reason Rex don't go to Tamworth is that the Tamworth Council is very protective of Qantaslink.

From what has been reported the city has not offered Jetgo anything it has not already offered to Rex, Qantaslink and Virgin. It appears they are actually proposing huge extra security charges that will apply to Jetgo but not Qantas.

I doubt they would be giving Jetgo a break.

Would you drive 1.5 hrs south to fly north when you could simply drive 5 hrs north and have wheels in BN
It appears that this Jetgo armchair expert isn't even aware of the time it takes to drive from TW to BNE.... And the fact it was one of Brind'y most patronised routes

According to Google maps the driving time is 6 hrs and 55 mins..

Semi-rigid?

Nulli-secundus; British Army Dirigible No 1, christened Nulli Secundus (Latin: "Second to none") was a Semi-rigid airship. First flown on 10 September 1907, it was Britain's first powered military aircraft.
I believe semi-rigid well describes Nulli and his anti-JetGo posts.
It's easy for him to sit back and shart all over every JetGo move. My guess would be that Nulli has been denied a JetGo interview or something of that nature. Maybe he has worked for the owners in a previous life or one of them boofed his missus, who knows and who really cares about his endless sniper attacks upon JetGo.
At the end of the day JetGo are giving things a shot. Time will tell if they are successful. If they aren't then Nulli can play with himself silly and prance around the pages of Pprune, penis in hand saying 'I told you so I told you so'. In the meantime lets hope JetGo succeeds as our industry is in bad enough shape as it is and even an expansion in the hot air balloon sector would be welcomed at this point in time.

Well Said Soteria. We are doing exactly that, trying to take on the majors is no easy task... we appreciate the awesome effort that all our staff and suppliers are putting in, we also welcome the great new employees we were able to pick up from recent industry lay-offs, you know who you are.. Forward and onwards!..

Looking at the routes chosen to date taking on the majors is a bit of fanciful comment. Taking jets on sub 600nm sectors against modern efficient turbo props is no easy task.

actually thought the real opposition would be old cheap turbo props like Saab 340's & Dash 8's 100/200/300's (with no security requirements & costs, except at "major ports".


Yes slower, but over a short sector, does it matter ?


Everyone seems so damn price orientated.

"Props are for boats"....Really!!!??? Having flown both jets and props, I can tell you some of the turboprops give jets a run for their money both in terms of efficiency and 'nicety' to fly!

Spot on, and the fact that the greedy council refused to cut them a break on the passenger tax's of $43 per person PLUS a landing fee of $370...
Whilst I am not an advocate of excessive fees at essential infrastructure, do you not feel the Maranoa Regional Council and 15,000 residents of the Maranoa are entitled to some return on the $12 million plus invested in the airport upgrade, principally to meet the demands of the gas industry?

Or should everyone have a free ride?

Lowest Roma - Brisbane fares are now $99 one way. I guess QantasLink are feeling the pinch of the gas industry cut backs?

Exactly why we pulled out after hearing about the many projects not going ahead... Hope for the industry's sake that things improve. Merry Christmas all

JETGO MANAGEMENT

Merry Xmas and sincerely all the best in the New Year,

But why waste your energy replying to most of the BS here, when you have more important things to do, in the end, you will be judged on your performance.



Good Luck

Always good to see someone have a go

SERIOUSLY, a new service delayed because.....of......check-in desks.

Either just bs or a serious head banging moment. I'd go for bs, but you never know.

Rubbish! It's not what Skytrans told their staff. They told them they lost the government contracts and falling exchange rate http://www.skytrans.com.au/infofiles..._020115_v2.pdf

Below is the message sent out by BAC to all operators at BNE on the 7th of January. Previously BAC had advised they were only closing one counter while the renovations were being carried out. I think REX had a serious spit about it as well:

Please be advised that from 1500 this afternoon, hoarding will be erected around check in counters 13 & 14 making them inaccessible for operations. This is to complete tiling works as scheduled.
It must also be noted that at least two conventional counters will be unavailable for use for a period of approximately six weeks for all works to be completed, including the fitment of the FIDS façade over the check in area.

To cope with demand for conventional check in counters, we have installed a SITA workstation on Counter 10 and this can be used as either an ABD or a conventional desk as required. I have contacted those operators who will be impacted, and for all others this is for information only.

Kind regards,

XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
BRISBANE AIRPORT CORPORATION PTY LIMITED
Jetgo would be last in the queue for available counters if two were closed.

Give me strength! The only reason a "viable" commercial operation is being delayed is check in counter access! If you're fair dinkum bus them to/fro GA as an interim measure.market will accept this as a stop gap. Reality is probably catching up with the rock steady jetgo crew, Jets don't work on short sectors!
