What a farce this thread is becoming.
If any of you is interested in getting the real story, perhaps you'd like to get in touch with real members of Australian Helicopters' management. You'll find their phone number in the White Pages, or their email addresses on their web site.
With a few notable exceptions (e.g. John E), I don't think you'll find much here other than conjecture and assumption, and in some cases mischief, libel, even fraud. Yes, yes, it's a rumour network, but does that give you a licence to say whatever pops into your head?
Do you think the client gives a toss about what is said here? No, because they know most of the people posting here wouldn't have a clue!
