MaxNr, Nice to read someone over there who has an interest in what is going on over here! With BIH now only having I beleive 3 full time contracts, and with I belive in excess of 10 aircraft laying idle in ABZ, it may be all right filling the gaps with short term ad-hocs. However, it doesn't take a genius to do the sums and ask that if a large oil company is no longer bailing them out, and they have no money making contracts, how long will CHC be willing to foot the bill?!!!!
