Surely though you would have to ask why any company would continue to fund the lossmaking operation? Maybe for a strategic reason but that is a long bow.

Just looking over the Saab fleet activity; are these guys really down to just 35 operational aircraft at this point?

Maybe this should be leaked to the media... as I keep repeating. Its time to put these airlines in their rightful place! The media would love more aviation diaster stories right now.

Based on what I know, around 60, but that has fluctuated slightly over the years. Currently approximately 20 parked due lack of engines and some other factors?

Huge training backlog for newly graduated Cadets. I've been told up to 6 months at this stage.

QLD and WA routes profitable due respective state governments subsidies, but Central and east coast bases not so good?

All this in the shadow of a domestic jet venture the likes of which has yet to see a long term successful outcome. At least in the 40 years that I've been in the game!

But hey, who really knows?
