The former Chief Pilot of Caverton has now rejoined Aero. He's been seen around in PH the last couple of days with strong rumours that he was going to Bristow. They've also fired another local pilot, so they must be down to only 3 or 4 pilots by now. I guess it doesn't really matter as they only seem to be flying their 2 Astars now. Maybe the new hangar in PH will never get finished?
I hear they're trying to sell their 109E, but having problems getting a decent price for it, with one buyer in UK having just pulled out of negotiations.
With no CVFDRs in their Dauphins meaning they can't fly them for jow, I wonder if HeliPortugal are beginning to wonder if they'll ever see their machines again?
Looks as if they'll end up going the way of Southern Air, only with even bigger losses.
