Just having a few beers with some old mates from darwin and they were saying that a couple of other GA groups(Direct & Ausjet) are on the way out with maintenance being a major factor.

dont think too many in the dn GA scene will miss a certain little pinhead and associated antics

vandalising other companies equipment
dobbing
overtaking on the left , slowing up in the circuit and taxing at snails pace and other "small man syndrome" antics

Looking at AN's ops manual, and the manner in which the ops requirements were written, a big part of the reason is some - - - - - self annointed beaurecratic half wit was trying to justify his own position. Talk about restrictive practices, and nothing whatever to do with safety and commercial practicality.....
You are obviously way out of your depth when it comes to rules & regs which is clearly demonstrated by your comments above. If you had half a brain you would understand Air Ngu's ops manual had everything to do with safety. Why anyone who had just lost their job would be "having a quiet chuckle in his beer" is beyond me.

enufsaid
Naturally you'd agree with anyone who put the boot into the Company you left yet tried so desperately to get back into, but rejected you. I find it highly amusing you overlook the irony of yourself and commercial practicality. What's commercially viable about a flight that has reached 75% of its payload when only the pilot's weight is taken into account?

Karma is alive and well, particularly in aviation.

Thumbs down

The continued use of the word "abo" air to refer to aboriginal air services and the smart little phrases used to mock the way aboriginal people talk show a complete lack of maturity by some of the posters to this site! Typical of a lot of Australian's " I am not a racist but!" or "It's just a word".

Downwards,
Then you should please use the airlines' correct name and do not abbreviate as "Aboriginal Air Services". The correct name is..."Ngurratjuta Air and Ngaanyatjarra Air and Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Air and Janami Air trading as Aboriginal Air Services"
FYI even people who work and own and use these airlines refer to them as "AbAir" and "Pee Why Air".
It's just handy abbreviation not an evil attempt by the master race to take over the planet.

Shortened Words !!!

Hey Downwards,
After 10 years in the West Kimberley's, I have quite a few 3/4 + cast aboriginals as very good friends. They wanted to know what is wrong with calling them "abo" - as we are Australians, and have no objections to being called aussie. They are quite happy with that abbreviation.
