Mama M.
Think you are out to lunch on a couple of your comments.
How many ex- CHC Intl management are still in place in the company, not too many, think you could say there is a strong European influence there nowadays, so don't think you can call that the Canadian old-boy network ?
I am sure some of the companies that they took over had and still do have high standards, but some off them did not, many horror stories about the way some of the bases that were taken over by CHC were run previously, needing huge influx of personnel, tools and equipment and lots of money to get them up to scratch.
