Wineboy, if wet leasing is such a good deal, why do companies like CHC and Esso still buy their own machines. Esso have the d.o.c's for their 76's down very low. They own the airframes and have PBtH on their engines and xmsn only I believe. As far as the auto pilot goes, a machine with 4 axis even without auto hover is a quantum leap over and far safer than a 3 axis machine. There are two 4 axis machines in QR and I believe the auto hover machine is now in Brisbane not Cairns.
