......... LifeFlight (Melbourne) I think tries to do a excellent job in a very combative envoironment (politically)..... if there were less "vested interests" bitching about them that would be good.
Apart from the few who seem to have it in for the CEO for what seem to be purely personal reasons, LifeFlight do nothing wrong operationally that I can see..... they seem to run a pretty tight well structured operation. Their aircraft are EXCELLENT! Their standards are HIGH.
This constant "carry on" about the charity status thing is just another way of trying to "tall poppy" the organisation. You achieve nothing by trying to take them down. No commercial operator will step in to do their job ...and if they did, no doubt it would be at a much greater cost to the taxpayer, as well as for personal profit.
Get real and grow up and leave them alone to do their job.
RANT OFF!
