Bizarre comment slim pickings...... 'dig a little deeper muscles', 'gutless', 'naysayer'.
Provided its not a personal attack, anybody should say what they think should be said. I think that's the idea here. |
JetGo is still go!
C'mon boys, time out. Agree to disagree and move on. Cheers
I spoke to a solid source on Friday, JetGo is still 'go' and some of the delay on announcing firm routes etc is quite simply due to waiting on contracts to be sines off. For example if any of you have dealt with DTMR etc in relation to government contracts you will understand that the process is long and they announce the successful contractors name around the same time each year. So in regards to JetGo they are still all systems go and have been very busily engaged with the behind the scenes component of setting up and operating a business. As cannot be denied, they have good aircraft and good financial backing with a bag full of contracts to be announced soon. Safe flying |
.........and good financial backing with a bag full of contracts to be announced soon. |
The best "Wishful Thinking" would be that the naysayers and Tall-Poppy-Cutters would STFU and let a company get on with its business.
And Cactus is spot on, there are some serious things happening that the unwashed public doesn't know about yet. |
God there's some aggressive people who work at this Jetgo place. Glad I'm not working with them. :rolleyes:
|
You had better get a good PR person because calling your customers "unwashed" doesn't bode too well. Better hope the press don't grab that or Ascend Charlie may turn into Descend Charlie
|
I always thought the term 'unwashed' referred to the common people or the public en masse. Nothing derogatory in it unless specifically used in that way which someone with an elitist view might take offence. I'd have thought the common people, indeed en masse, is exactly who Jetgo are hoping to attract to their services.
D:ok: |

How is anyone on this thread interfering with Jetgo going about it's business? I doubt their "customers or financiers" are here reading this thread and there is no reason why Jetgo need waste any of their time responding if they don't wish to, do you see J*, QF, VB here at all? So, maybe it's you who should STFU:mad:
Btw, are you management? If not htf would know "there are some serious things happening" and if you are, fo, and get on with your job!:ugh: What's said here will make naught difference to Jetgo's doings. |
What's said here will make naught difference to Jetgo's doings. But the "people who know better than JetGo management" keep popping up with derogatory comments about how they are doing things wrong. If an aviation company can go from Startup and straight away be turning over some pretty darn impressive POSITIVE figures, they could be said to be doing the right thing. And no, I am not part of the company, but I wouldn't mind if they adopted me.:ok: |

Re your last para, maybe so. However lots of companies start out looking really good and fall flat on their face when reality comes knocking.
I'd say doing SYD to BOB (back of beyond)isn't going to be easy, regardless of how well they have planned this. RPT is going to be a different game to closed charter and with the mining boom looking like a balloon at a kids b/day party FIFO supported RPT may end up a bit iffy, imo. I'd say your confusing those who are pointing out pitfalls as anti JG, I wouldn't agree, though none of us commenting here would have any real idea. But history would indicate it will be a pretty hard row and the odds would be against success. That aside I'm sure most wish them the best, especially coz knocking around in a 30+ seater jet sure beats the pants of doing the same in a TP. |
So what's happening with Jetgo RPT services ?
No news for many weeks. Issues with good ol CASA ? |
Approved yesterday SYD-ROM with the 135's. No Gladstone? Hervey bay? No E140's?

Issues with good ol CASA ? They do have an E135KL, which I think is the technically correct name for the E140LR. For those interested in knowing what is involved these days in getting a new high capacity jet RPT AOC = a great team to work with + 2 years and 8 days of hard work! Thank you to all that have supported us and even to those for the business advice. |
so when do you start taking bookings ?
Surely 2 months out is about right time to start ? & which reservations system are you using ? Have heard that the big boys (CRS's/GDS's) are extremely expensive. |
so when do you start taking bookings ? There will also be some more announcements this week, but we would like to let the local councils release these. & which reservations system are you using ? Have heard that the big boys (CRS's/GDS's) are extremely expensive. |
JetGo Gladstone/Sydney article
A wee article below;
New airline considers Gladstone to Sydney route | Gladstone Observer This would be a well supported service. Lots of LNG work happening in the region and there is a number of years work that lay ahead. I hope they commence operating, it would be an improvement over some of the current services, and it might help keep some of the other 'not so reputable' operators who operate old an inferior aircraft out of the region :ok: |
didn't QF link just drop this recently using A Dash 8-400 ?
Hope Jetgo can make it work, but imagine with only approx. 36 seats cf. 74 ish on QF, that average fares maybe higher than QF. Still faster I guess. As long as business types who aren't paying their own fares, it could work. |
That they did...it'd have to be $300+ each way
Now eyeing ASX listing and codeshare with VA/QF? |
Jetgo received their AOC from CASA yesterday for Jet RPT services, using Embraer EMB-135LR aircraft. The airlines first route will be Roma in Queensland direct to Sydney, eliminating the current need for a stop over and change of aircraft in Brisbane. Jetgo is also interested in the Gladstone to Sydney route now that Qantas Link have withdrawn their services. A promotional tour of Roma and Gladstone will be conducted on Friday 10th October 2014, where further announcements are expected.
