it is questionable that a charity can tender for lucrative commercial contracts over commercial companies just to keep itself afloat so it can maintain its REAL focus - the needy ones in the community. other respondents so far sound like diciples of charity company aka cheap way to run as a commercial company obviously make a living there. the aircraft was promised and 5 pilots for a month, then fell thru mysteriously and if u think this doesn't create some angst among commercial operators who would jump at chance to supply their aircraft then that is pretty arrogant and thoughtless. the contract was secured when there was no hope of the aircraft leaving the country or the pilots appearing from somewhere.
