Assessment comments The following comments were left by the assessors: (edit · history · watch · refresh) Ozjet article does not have significant historical value for research. The article lacks important information demonstrating the failure mechanism of Ozjet's domestic regular public transport operations associated with neo classical micro economic theory. As it stands the article appears to be a promotion of Ozjet rather than a research expected of an encyclopedia article.

[edit] Source of text?

The bulk of this article appears to have been lifted from a magazine article or news report of some sort. It doesn't read like an encyclopedia article.

It also refers to "was" a lot. Which sees wrong for a currently active airline Duds 2k 09:08, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted recent edits

I've removed the following text:

After only one week in operation, Ozjet lowered it's ticket prices by around $30.00 for a one way ticket after a slow and disapointing start in flying. on the 8th of December 2005 the only current Ozjet aircraft ( a 30 year 0ld Boeing 737) suffered several technical problems and the airline was forced to cancel a number of flights due to the problems.

I think the words 'only' one week, and 'slow and disapointing' and POV and in the case of the latter, need to be referenced. It has been argued that at this time of year the load factors were always going to be low. I understood that there were two operating aircraft and one on standby. [1]. The schedule[2] shows (almost) simultaneous departures from Sydney and Melbourne which suggests two aircraft. The article says there is only one which throws the credibility of the whole passage into question. Furthermore, airlines experience technical dificulties all the time. The fact that the aircraft is not necessarily the cause. It is the case however that an airline operating 100 aircraft is better placed to reschedule and make alternative arrangements than an airline operating two aircraft. As the article currently reads it looks as though somebody was put out by a delayed flight and wanted to take it out on wikipedia. If this info is to be included it should be re-written and referenced. Mention of the 30 y.o aircraft should be elsewhere in the article. -- Adz 02:21, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:OzJet.jpg

Image:OzJet.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:26, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scheduled Airline or Charter

After OzJet ceased their scheduled operations. IIRC the chairman was quoted to say that the airline will be concentrating on charter and wet-leasing ops. So technically wouldnt that make OzJet a charter airline, rather than scheduled (as it currently is in the Australian Airlines template at the bottom). --Arnzy (talk · contribs) 08:08, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

They operate scheduled services in their own right again, so problem solved. YSSYguy (talk) 09:59, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Conflicting ownership information

There are two conflicting statements here. One early in the article states that the airline is 100% owned by Paul Stoddart, then at the end of the article there is a shareholder listing. I can't find any info as to which is correct. YSSYguy (talk) 09:59, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recent edit listing Ende, Indonesia as a destination

At the time of this entry, the Ozjet Air Operator Certificate (here) shows that it only has permission to fly to Denpasar and Port Moresby outside Australia. YSSYguy 6 December 2007 —Preceding comment was added at 04:34, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
