Cheers

Many, many years ago when I was in GA, the company I worked for would x-hire PA31's from them. They were some of the best PA31's I ever flew and I believe the same applies to their J41's and Metro's. If I ever get board flying red/white jets, Brindabella is one company I would be happy to work for.

Hi Mark,

I have flown them recently a fair few times NTL-CBR rtn and I would highly recommend the FQ103/104 morning or FQ107/108 evening flights as 90% are operated by the much roomier J41 which is a nice aircraft. Also there is no flight attendant on the Metro(lunchtime flight) which limits choice of snacks available. Hope that helps.

It's a tough audience Rob, when people have nothing better to do than correct your spelling

The only thing wrong with Jetstreams are that they're British. They work well until you get them wet Remember?

Hey Guys,

Dragging up this post again.

I'm on FQ105 (CBR/NTL) on Friday week and FQ108 (NTL/CBR) the Sunday after. Does anyone know if these flights are likely to be operated by the Jetstream or the Metros?

Will be the first timew I have flown in either aircraft so would be hoping for one of each. Am looking forward to the flights I have to say!

Cheers

Hi Mark,

As far as I'm aware FQ105 should be a Metro and FQ108 should be a JS41.
