eagle 86, I guess I was looking at the capacity for individuals to progress through the company the size of CHC, with regards to other types of flying, SAR, Offshore, CHC Global etc something which Careflight could never offer. It is interesting that Careflight operate with 4 drivers and CHC with 3, CHC is limited to the Fatigue Risk Management System that provides controls to capture levels of fatigue (not always correct though) for the pilots. Regarding the Crewies by saying that CHC 'flog the crap' out of them, this may be the case... however it could only done using the conditions set out and agreed to under the crewmans EBA. It's a bit hard to say on one hand that I agree with this EBA and then turn around and say that we are getting flogged. I haven't heard of too many Crewies or Pilot's leaving CHC because of their conditions of employment!
