benq,
Unfortunately, life is like that. There would not be many helicopter pilots out there that can't say the same thing about numerous companies, "the good old days".
I know that it is very annoying when big machines arrive and new management comes along, then the bean counters, then the new pilots, new crewies, new engineers, it all gets too big and too impersonel. You end up a number instead of a valued part of the operation. The job becomes a big buisness, not the corner shop run by the family. (Not talking Mafia here!!!)
I have never worked for AH, or delt with them, so can't comment either way on what is going on up there. Although I'm sure it will sort its self out eventually, too much money involved for it to just fall over.
I think the unfortunate thing is, as some have said, if the guys don't like it, go. Others will be along very quickly to fill the viod, regardless of how bad some will say it is.
