You forgot inanity - typified by your post.


As in "Something empty of meaning or sense."

Fantome 8th Aug 2014 10:18

and people accuse me . . . . witwiw . . . as you know, he is anything but inane. . . . as a rule . . .. . but tonight the Kilkenny is
kicking in . . .. it's oither thut . . or the juice of the barley . .. AND . .his long list of ingredients is not without some Ernest Gannish influence. (Upon his office shelves once
upon a time I did aspy, tucked in at the end of two metres groaning shelf space of manuals, regs and regs and regs and bumf. . . the
EKG classic.)

Sorry to drag up this thread but there is an interesting analysis done on Nauru Airlines on CAPA:

Must have been wrong info.....

feenix 14th Sep 2014 02:26

Doubt it 4 holer. Even if they were paying as you say, which I doubt, it would still be half of what Virgin would want !

falconx 14th Sep 2014 02:51

interesting to see if Virgin is given access

4 Holer 14th Sep 2014 03:15

Got it wrong again...............

mightyauster 14th Sep 2014 04:01

Dear 4 Holer,

Why has your DC8 not flown for the last few weeks? I hear the Feds are involved...

Rhterrke Atnyeneteke 14th Sep 2014 09:38


Rumour Aussie Govt getting charged 737-300 (128 seats ) $17000 per hour to Nauru not hard to beat that one would think. Presume AUS Government flight number will get access.....
But what do you think would happen to a flagship Australian government policy if Canberra said, sorry but we're not going to use Air Nauru to fly to Nauru any more?

The words, "short and curlies" spring to mind.

falconx 14th Sep 2014 11:35

For the Aussie government to use Nauru's detention it was a condition it's own airline was to be used. $17K an hour, explains another 3 in aircraft in 6 months

d_concord 14th Sep 2014 11:44

Morrison on Friday spelt out that they were offering to shut down the detention centres if they can get the TPV's through the senate.

Makes sense but it will bring the gravy train to a halt.

(and for what it is worth I have heard a much higher figure than the 17K/hr)

feenix 14th Sep 2014 21:12

You guys are dreaming. Some facts. It is not 17000 or higher-Try and hire a 737 off any of the majors and you won't see much change out of 25000- What government work they do carry out is shared with Skytraders who are more expensive I'm told-the Australian government does not hire the airline to take workers to Nauru it is a private company- Nauru government was getting a freighter before the centre was opened and it appears the DC8 operator has his nose out of joint as the private (not Government) parties using him were not satisfied with his work- The fleet upgrading and expansion has been planned for other purposes and all the centres have done is escalate things. The airline is providing work for people under good conditions so why knock it. Even so I will sit back and wait for the barrage of unfavourable comments from parties with much to gain if they fail.

Car RAMROD 15th Sep 2014 04:42

Isn't there a PNG operator asking for about $30+ grand an hour for their Fokkers??

Ill take a 17k 737 if that's the case!

Square Bear 15th Sep 2014 13:42

Are you serious, Travel Air charge that much to charter one of their Fokker 50's??? :ooh:

Tell 'em they're dreaming!, go for the 733.

Stanwell 15th Sep 2014 17:04
