Would not have thought this was happening, considering the size, and the contracts. So is it a given that the likes of Metro, PHi Air Medical can come into the void and take over some of the contracts??
Every year at Heli Expo for the last near 2 decades I have been attending religiously, always see new EC135, EC145 EMS with their subsidiary hospital / medical centres on display impressive.
Earlier this year in Atlanta, I did not hear any rumbles whatsoever. or sense any unhappiness, negative feelings.
