Here's a thought why don't you send them an e-mail?

Yeh what a great idea, I'm sure if you call them you'll get a completely unbiased objective assessment of the company.

Is it a low calibre operation (Dodgy) or high calibre (not so dodgy)

Just speculating but looks to be like another start up mining charter company, especially since they are looking at the Fokker50 which has already been proven in that department.

Well the mining industry is going gang busters in QLD, so that is probably a good assumption!

According to an advert in the Aviation Trader, they want a Maintenance Controller with "minimum 20 years experience as an Airworthiness Inspector" and "Fluent in English and Dutch". That is either a set-up to get their person of choice in under a 457 visa or pure p!ss!ng in the wind. In any case, most Dutch people under the age of 70 are so fluent in English that all business - even in Holland - can be conducted in that language and all Fokker technical manuals can be had in English.
There is also a rumour (this IS a rumour network, so no, I have no proof) that a certain DC (the same who brought down SkyAirWorld) may be an 'invisible' participant in this exercise. Caveat emptor.

Story is that the F50 is being sourced from the Netherlands.
