My husband is a FIFO [fly-in, fly-out] on a two-week rotation.
He needs to fly out to central Australia and takes between two and four flights to get there and the same to return every fortnight.
Because there are no flights out of or into Bathurst that suit his roster, I have to drive him to meet flights from Orange or he hires a car from Sydney.
The cost and inconvenience of this negates his hard-earned wage - may as well stay at home and go on the dole as he can't get a job locally in what he is skilled in.
