Or better still Dr. Napthine
Why don't you put the task out to tender??
Don't whatever you do, get into bed with this particular group [individual] [one man show] and his ultra fit crew, without first asking some pointed questions.
I gather in your hymn book you had questions such as:
•Have you ever crashed a helicopter in which you were the cause of the crash.
•Is the ownership of that particular helicopter under a legal ownership challenge by a well respected engineer in Melbourne.
•Do you have the necessary maintenance approvals to operate this class of helicopter?? Is the reason you arnt flying much have something to do with a maintenance controller gone missing and unpaid invoices.
•Can you really operate a VFR helicopter in IFR? you can??
•And of course your a current IFR pilot, aren’t you?
•Where did you get all that EMS experience?...which EMS operators in Australia have you worked for?? Oh in Nigeria, I see...!!!
•You have at least 3 other "Highly Experienced IFR" pilots to assist, don't you?
•When did you gain your ISO 9000 Certification, required for Government Contracts. Oh no, you don’t have one, do you?
•You do operate a CAR 217 Training System, don't you?
•And your Fatigue Risk Management System must be one of those new third generation systems hey??, Oh you do know what an FRMS is don't you?
Someone had better warn the good Doctor.
