Qantas Ramps for Hobart Airport

[Capt Claret]

I wonder if Hobart being the second driest capital city in the county might have anything to do with the facilities provided?

17° and blowing a gale, and 9mm of rain in the last 12 hours.

Good one, Clarrie!

A bit selective there Bloggs in your stats. Don't you think?

1. ADL, 546 mm - pop 1,263,888
2. HBA 569 mm, pop 206,560
3. CBR 597 mm, pop 418,856
4. MEL 603 mm, pop 4,181,021
5. PER 725 mm, pop 1,901,582

With bugger all population to support the infrastructure, and bugger all rain, it's not surprising that no one wants to stump up the dollars to provide aerobridges. Good heavens, it's not all that long ago that ADL didn't have them.

Not long after they set up a new Pilot and Cabin Crew base there? It's QLink ADL/CBR/PER all over again...

Any more info you can divulge?

And in '95 I was advised not to join NJS as they were absolutely going to lose the Airlink (Qantaslink) contract.

Contracts come, contracts go. time will tell. I know which way I'm backing. So would anyone else who has listened to the new Qf Dom ceo.
