But IFALPA has now achieved its aim to establish a single VHF common frequency for comms between aircraft over remote and oceanic areas out of range of VHF ground stations "to exchange necessary operational information and to facilitate the resolution of operational problems".
I suppose this means that Bristow Aberdeen will have to seek another company frequency? - there was enough non-essential chat between planks blocking the frequency over the North Sea when it was used as an unofficial fixed wing chat frequency, let alone now it's approved for such.
