qualityman! unfortunately in many cases machines are often NOT maintained as they should. We have first hand reports from pilots (NOT operators of course) which have forwarded reports to us re: "cheating" on regular maintenance or in two cases regularly go way over the hours on the blades.
We have also received reports that careers were short lived due to pilots insisting and challenging many fine and "highly ethical operators", to strictly comply with required maintenance!
But let us make it very clear here...we have no intention to establish a private CASA!
But simply assist genuine operators in their marketing efforts.
And not suprisingly we have, as mentioned previously, received a number of encouraging and very helpful messages from open-minded operators not only from Australia but from all over the world.
We still look forward and indeed invite all forum participants to come forward with positive critisism and suggestions! Its all about lateral thinking Gentlemen! :-)
