Default Qantaslink's mercy dash to Moree provided food for the town

Well done!

Good on Qantaslink for doing what they did. It's quite good this appeared to be done in good will.

To be a nitpicker I feel the need to point out they used a DHC-8-201 , not a Q400 like mentioned in the story.

The Captain was Steve Busch. A top bloke and long-serving Captain.

Did I hear right in that it was a single pilot? Didn't think Dash's were single pilot certified..

Good on QantasLink though, especially for not making it a massive PR stunt.

I doubt it would have been one pilot. The F/O sounds like he was forgotten by everyone!

Well done QLink though.
