Presumably, should, would, could... give me a break!
Mark Six,
The reason CHC were put into Wollongong in the first place was because Westpac could not provide the service that was required, period. So, we are now NOT comparing like V's like. CHC have the capacity to provide additional services (read: crews, airframes, engineering services, competent management systems) well above what the NGO's can.
I don't by my clothes from charities such as Life-Line or the Salvo's just because they are cheaper, I buy them from various commercial business’s that supply what I want, when I want, albeit at a premium price.
You get what you pay for Mr Six!
No lives will be lost, the only thing that will be lost will be the salaries received by the big executives of Careflight.
Quickdraw.
