You seem to be dazzled and distracted by BARS accreditation
Yeah yeah... but last time I checked BARSoft they're NOT BARs accredited.

The local rag last week:

"Airport changes ahead
LIZ MACINTYRE
19 Jul, 2012 12:00 AM
CLONCURRY - Changes to the airport terminal, runway and apron were discussed at Tuesday's Cloncurry Shire Council Meeting, with the Mayor Andrew Daniels saying the town had to be ready to cater for the mining boom".

"As for JetGo, no one has heard anything from the company since JetGo Australia's owner, Jason Ryder was supposed to touch down in early July and didn't turn up".

Hard to believe how many FIGJAMS are on this thread, claiming to be experts in the field and knowing more about JetGo's business than they do themselves.

The aircraft is still flying in and out of Brisbane, so presumably someone is still answering the phone...

Ghost Callers and Heavy Breathers

Calling up looking for a job were you spike, or were you just doing a few 'ghost calls' to fill in your day.

Phones work just fine when I need to call them...

Copy this blah blah ablah

As I have said before but for your sake I will repeat it. I am not looking for a job with JetGo or anywhere for that matter.

As for the phones working when you need to call them, is that to follow up on a recent invoice?

You fancy yourself as somewhat of a wit but clearly you are only half way there.
When you or JetGo management post with tangible evidence of the success of this venture then the naysayer's curiosity will be satisfied. Not that you or he have to do that, but it should put a stop to the speculation.

I hope for all the people that are involved that it is a success but for overnight experts, like you, who on this forum so unprofessionally gloat about how much money you can drag out of the operator, I couldn't care less.

C'mon Spike, you know you really want the job, you even 'copied his number down' - 1800plop!
Seriously, you aren't looking for a job? There are many robust operators in the land of AUS looking for Drivers (or are you a Gingerbeer?). Or are you a Consultant perhaps?? You are certainly stirring up the JetGo employee's!!

Cactus

No, neither consultant, engineer nor pilot any more, just an interested observer hoping that I will not witness another start-up emulating a slow motion train wreck.

Perhaps if our dimwitted safety consultant friend Copy this-whatever put as much energy into providing some tangible evidence of JetGo's success as he does in his feeble attempts at denigrating the rest of us on this thread, then this thread might die a natural death. However, if he continues the way he is going, mindlessly spitting out vitriol without substantiating his claims of JetGo's success, we will continue to respond and seek the reassurance he still fails to provide.

I would also suggest that JetGo Management wishes that he didn't have to post on this forum to fill they gaping holes in information that their $20K consultant leaves.

At least JetGo management appears to understand that the interest shown on this thread is genuine and that the majority of us would love to see them prosper.

Spiked and Cacti, time to seprate..ding ding the bell has rung, rest time!

Spike - Consultants play an integral role in aviation. They provide robsut consultation, fill a void where safety expertise is lacking, 'they share, deliver and spread best practise' and they provide a plethora of safety knowledge and aviation experience to those in need of a 'mentor'. They share wisdom, vision and experience, and are usually 'fonts of aviation knowledge' and they impart learning lessons that are really priceless in value and quality. Their modest fee's barely reflect the actual true value and priceless experience they impart to the industry... A toast to Consultants

And bugger off real quick when the chips are down, there's a splatter on the pavement and the lawyers are circling...
Smart. Second the toast.

I've been watching this thread with interest. Why the bad vibes man!? (to quote Donald Sutherland) the aircraft are here and flying.....why throw **** at them?!?!
It's more work for everybody insofar as I can see.
(Just for the record I'm a competitor) but I don't see the sense or logic in a lot of the posts here unless one factors in just plain meanness of spirit and good old fashioned jealously from a few competitors!
Their pricing is very good (love mystery shoppers) compared to turbo props from around 250-300 nms and out, I suppose they have availability based on what I see on Flightaware and they seemed to achieved what they set out to do originally (nicked a customer off that half ring circus REX!

What more do they need to do to make our Pprune resident experts happy?!?!
Ah well....love this industry!

Jetgo Joint Venture RPT Plans Revealed

DAILY TELEGRAPH 3.8 P11 CHALLENGE TO REX BUSH RULE

Regional airline Rex is set to lose its monopoly servicing NSW country communities. A group of Australian investors is about to launch a bold plan to set up an airline to go into direct competition with Rex in rural NSW. The Griffith to Melbourne route, abandoned by Rex on July 1, will be the first new route if the group is given the green light by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority. Broken Hill, Dubbo, Orange, Albury and Mildura in Victoria are mooted as other destinations for the new carrier. Challenge to Rex's bush rule | thetelegraph.com.au

Is it JetGo?

That is good news if it is JetGo but I am a little confused as why they aren't mentioned in the article but you are breaking the news on this forum. Anyway, I hope they do well.

Short memories?

You guys have short memories - do you not remember a mob advertising on AFAP 12-18 months ago for pilots for a new regional airline that was going to take on the world?

Twas discussed on PPRuNe HERE and HERE
