CHC takeover of SAR?
I am new to the helicopter industry and last night I read a story about a Canadian company that may take over Australia's Search and rescue duties. As an Australian I would rather see this done by an Australian company but wouldn't there be many advantages to this overseas company doing it?
I looked at CHC's web-site and it seems to me that they are a huge , well established company that looks to have more experience in this area than any company here. Also wouldn't a large multi national company pay better wages than most of the companies here? As well as flying newer, better equiped helicopters?
Just a thought......
