Okay, here's a hypothetical question. Say the fire season in Australia is non-existant this year and all contracted machines sit on the ground, which is not all that unlikely. How much money would leave the country? Are there Canadian pilots here on the ground at the moment getting a standby rate and if so, will they continue to sit around regardless? Just curious to see where my tax dollars are headed. Cheers.
