Ace program development

Devil,

I believe you need to rate the company that sits behind the last line of defence as well. Some things to consider are

- does the company employ staff or only contract. Influences the culture of the place
- what's it's financial position? is it on the bones of it's @rse
- type of ops super or night cotton
- support equipment. still loading with the oily blitz and fuelling from recycled drums or got a signed off tank on the acco?
- common discussion/pilots meeting at the start of the season?
-who is running the show?
- is it part of a larger operation vis do they sell super and apply it or just provide the service?
- is it run from a fixed base with some facilities or the back of the chief pilot's ute.
- ops manual or learning by osmosis??

Another organisation are working on a model looking at similar inputs to determine who needs watching and who doesn't

Know someone who can discuss further offline if you want.

Cheers

The Eye.
