Hi Steve, the two regos you mentioned are actually Alliance Airlines birds. Skippers has VH-XKM and -XKN. As far as I am aware, they have not moved from the Skippers terminal since arriving. Not sure if it is an issue with upgrading to a jet AOC, lack of contracts or, more likely, both. I heard that one of the other carriers approached Skippers about taking them off their hands, but they weren't interested. Not sure what the future is for them, but I'd be surprised to see them up and flying any time soon. Still, they are cheap to buy, so it isn't too much of a risk for them to not fly them. Skippers are busy enough with their other operations as it is.
