Jetgo
Well for a start we don't even know if they are operating VFR flights or not so why argue about whether they should be? Just because some handle called skurgler says he heard a radio call doesn't mean he did. And even if he did, it may have been for good reason. Most airlines will have something in their books about getting approval from the CP if a VFR positioning flight is required. Could have been just that.

VFR ?
Spike is Correct, still training new US Crew members on correct radio calls for CTAFS etc.. No conspiracy here folks, just a slip of the tongue. In any case, it was a empty reposition flight 50nm in 8/8 blue, cant see the problem, as other member have discussed, even if it had been planned VFR with a SAR time... The act allows for it for obvious reasons

New starter
Apparently it is rumoured you have a new HOTAC, Jetgo management?
Hope your regulatory affairs are in order

Oh Dear!
"Hope your regulatory affairs are in order"
If ever there was a recipe for practical drift you guys have just added the main ingredient.
From what I understand you have a good relationship with the regulator. You can look forward to that starting to sour from now on.
Still JetGo's gain is Skytrans...........no, that doesn't work either.
Or, it may be a very astute move by Skytrans trying to scuttle a competitor. A veritable Trojan horse with a strong smell of pony poo.

You're kidding, aren't you?
Can't say I've ever worked with a less honourable person and time will tell for JetGo...
Anyway, I've seen the JetGo aircraft through the NT a few times - hope they can make a go of it, but a rather challenging time to be trying to get amongst it, I would have thought.

The cold fact is that VFR is less safe than IFR.
Speaking as one who has operated a 125 seat jet VFR (into a Euro airport with no approaches), I can tell you that VFR, like IFR, is as safe as you make it.
Having 100 miles vis under sunny skies is generally safer than carrying out approaches to minima...

Still such a negative site
I think the only problem here is that some of these outback pilots have only flown in OZ. VFR ops is not uncommon in the likes of the UK, Europe. We used position our E135's between STN and LTN and Farborough VFR. Not unsafe and I guarentee there is alot more traffic than Outback.
Flying into Samedan........visual and a tough approach......cant compare to flying in the outback......unless you hit a kANGAROO on the dirt strip!!
I dont see why there is all the moaning. I suppose its just the nature of this site. If you are not going to offer any help or answer the thread question, then dont come on here.
Maybe go fly elsewhere for some proper experience. Anyone can fly in great weather, its when it turns to sh..it that you shine.
Fly safe guys.

Turkey do you honestly think Jetgo would be operating without the explicit approval both the mine and CASA.
Ever thought that maybe its been extended or replaced..... maybe go ask virgin about their Narrow Runway Supplement as well.
I think Jim Henson's old company has a job opening for you.
