Let's wait and see, shall we!!
SkyAirWorld also hailed from the banana state and started out as a resources charter company, albeit with a more cost effective ERJ than the EMB 135/145 and then (presumably due to the revenue shortfall) expanded into RPT. As a consequence and in an impressively short time frame they spectacularly showed the industry what can be done with a "big fortune".
I seem to recall reading in a recent JetGo press release from either messrs JR or RG that as a charter airline they only flew when the aircraft costs were covered by the client's fixed price.
Publishing an RPT schedule and hoping sufficient passengers book to firstly cover costs and then hopefully turn a profit is a very different proposition. Perhaps this is why Aeropelican/Brindabella after very recently announcing their alliance/merger, then informed the market/industry of their RPT rationalisation in order to provide more turboprop resources to service an increased demand for charter capacity.
Time will tell of course whether there is any substance to JetGo being associated with this rumour!
The Oracle

Mining downturn coming soon
Any word on the second aircraft yet or has that been deferred?
With China officially slowing down the inevitable writing is on the wall for some parts of the mining industry.

Queensland and, to a lesser extent, NSW are both predominantly coal exporters.
The slowdown in China means less steaming coal but more significantly, it means less steel production so less premium coking coal, softer prices etc.
Coal prices have dropped massively from their peak.
Marginal pits that looked ok at $140/tonne are looking decidedly shakey at $70/tonne.
I think Cactus Jack has shared his "secret" insight and it's the same thing Alan Kohler and several other economic commentators have been saying for about 12 months.
The Boom's over, everyone can go back to sleep for 3-4 years

I have a mate who is well positioned within Rio. Big plans underway to start closing some mines and making staff redundant. It won't be formal for a few months yet. They have already announced that Blair Athol is to close by years end. Perhaps JetGo won't need a second aircraft?

Global Anglo-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto PLC will be conducting a manpower downsizing at its Clermont mine in Queensland, Australia, set off by a double whammy rising domestic costs and continued lower world prices in the Asian market.
"A review is underway and although the details are to be worked out, it will unfortunately mean redundancies will be required," a spokesman for Rio Tinto PLC said in an emailed statement. "We do not take this decision lightly."
It is still not clear however how many posts and what specific posts will be affected by the job cuts.
Newly opened in 2010, Clermont mine is the supposed intended replacement for the Blair Athol thermal coal mine. The latter is programmed to close in 2013.
Supposed production expectations from Clermont mine was as much as 12.2 million metric tons of coal a year. It currently has more than more than 770 workers.
Increased coal exports from the U.S. have largely affected prices of thermal coal in the world market, tumbling from $115 a tonne last year to just over $83 a tonne at present. Supply has also been affected by China's lowering appetite spurred by its imposed slowed down economy.
Rio Tinto PLC's coal division said it had to look ways to continue and ensure business stability since they also have to contend with new taxes, as well as mounting fuel and equipment bills.
The Rio Tinto PLC spokesman likewise did not elaborate if the review recommended slashing jobs might at the company's other mines.
The Anglo-Australian miner's thermal coal output in the first six months of the year has registered at 8.91 million tonnes, up 2 per cent from a year ago.

Well look at that,
Care to take bets on this unmarked 135 about to arrive in October.
Oh and this one due to show early next year......
Nahhh didn't think you would
Wow an all white unmarked aircraft with an unknown rego in a hangar on the other side of the globe. Yep must be theirs.

I have some questions, what is the salary paid to a direct entry FO and Capt with your company ?
Who pays for the endorsement if not type rated (Jetgo or the Pilot) ? or does Jetgo bond their pilots.
And what is the exacting criteria of the regulator and your client ?
Please feel free to PM

Yes, the China resource boom is over. Now, if we had a government with foresight (like the one that chased China as a market for our resources), they would be actively wining and dining India, as they are the next expanding nation as far as manufacturing goes.
Instead, we have a government that is too busy trying to feel popular and stab each other in the back at any opportunity. Oh, and continuously congratulating themselves that they single handedly prevented Australia from being caught up in the recession, which they didn't achieve, they merely delayed it using income from exports that the previous government put in place.
Good luck Jetgo, keep at it!

Packages and Conditions
Hello All. To answer all,
Unfortunately we are unable to divulge packages and conditions of positions within the company over the prune network. We thank both type rated and unrated applicants that have applied for positions, some of which were and some of which were not succesful. As we are expanding the fleet through 2013 substantially both with E135's and E145's we will always be looking for talented people both in the air and on the ground. As with any job however, just because you are type rated, doesnt guarantee you a position...For those that have been interviewed in the past and by now have not heard back officially with an offer, we thank you for meeting with us and by all means keep your hat in the ring by trying again in 6 months.
As the forum comments have remarked, both good and bad, Jetgo is a new contender in the market operating a new type to Australia, and as such have high requirements for time on type. We wish we could offer type endoresments to everyone, but the reality will be 1 in 3 to keep the experience on the line.
Jetgo as of October are moving our corporate offices from Sydney to Brisbane and effective October will be operating from our brand new corporate premisis at 5 Grevillia Place Brisbane Airport. Our doors are always welcome for people to drop in and meet us, the coffee is always on, or as always, we invite CVs to be emailed to [email protected] or by fax to 02 8088 4791
We are grateful at Jetgo for the positive responses and well wishes both by email and PM's off the forum, essentially we are a family orientated company grateful to be offering opportunties to the industry.
