I fly Skippers once a week to the Goldfields for work. Their terminal is still chockers in the mornings when I fly. Skippers seems to have all if not most of the Gold companies under their belt therefore a pretty safe industry for them compared to Skywest and Alliance who have expensive Jets reliant on iron Demand to China.

I notice Network have had their ex US Airways jet sitting parked up for 6 months now still in its US Airways colours. In no hurry to commision that obviously.

Cheers
Network I heard they were having trouble, snags with the introduction of FK100's to their fleet?
