It is an interesting route, and definitely one that I didn't pick as being created by the introduction of the EMB's.

Hopefully DJ can get the support to keep it happening, but with no other carriers(?) covering this direct route at the moment, I think they should do well from it.

Excellent idea! As a CBR resident, I'm up for it.

I believe they used to do this for a while up until sometime in 2005, they were flights that left at about 9:30pm or 10pm a few days a week. Is this right?

I note that these new ones are the IDEAL times: Friday night at 1945 and returning on a Sunday night from OOL at 2145. Just perfect. Weekends on the coast in store!!
