Australia's newest and third airline
Strictly speaking you are correct Icarus, although CASA are unlikely to approve a HOFO of a hi cap jet op that hasn't had extensive previous management experience in either Flight ops or Trg and checking. That said, I'm with the charmer, it's going to be a flogging for the lucky candidate
There's quite a few very experienced Aussie pilots overseas wanting to come home who would fit the CASA profile to be appointed a HOFO or CP for a new startup airline.

The possible start up is Hevilift the ATR / Twin Otter / Helicopter operator in PNG/ Iindodessia. Their PNG / Cairns operation head office in based in Brisbane and they have looking at expanding into larger jet operations for years and in recent months these plans popped up again.
Yeah I guess you've got me on a technicality, although that's not really a fair comparison as we all know QF have, shall we say, an extremely good relationship with CASA

surely the way to start a new 737 operation in Oz, would be for an existing New Zealand AOC operator. Think they could start flying domestically in OZ, tomorrow if they so chose to.
Understand NZCAA rules are much simpler, with very little reference to CASA.

Hotham back on the agenda
heard might be using saabs. Whatever aircraft is used it has to be under 20 tonnes as insane security costs would completely kill the few flights a week proposed

Some wild imaginations at play here I think? 
Could it be something for Adani and the flying ex Townsville expected for mid to late 2017. The new mine is supposed to have a strip able to support a "150 seat airliner"..
