In answer to your post. The unit you are talking about recently changed Contractor. As a result, the Chief Pilot decided not to transfer but instead move to the Big Yellow Diggers Flying Club. The remaining 2 pilots transferred, the senior of which has been offered a job back with his old company in a more domestically attractive area and quite understandably has decided to take it.
Incidentally, none of the Unit pilots were involved in the tail damaging incident you alluded to.
My experience is that there is always a period of upheaval during change of ownership of the contract but once settled the turnover returns to a slow trickle with the main casualties being to the fixed wing market.
