Modern era???

Quote:
chc are finally dragging the EMS helicopter fleet into the moden era! Finally.

'Moderen era'???? There are still two B412EP's on the flight line at Bankstown and a 'classic' in Wollongong! How's that for state of the art?

Me thinks 'lookatme' may like to look at the date. More than one year into 'the bigger, better, faster contract' and still no operational AW139's with a strong rumour of a B412 'classic' repalcing one of the EP's at B'town. 'Modern era' eh ?????

One step fwd two steps back me thinks.
This may be the fault of the either or both parties involved but you're as blind as a welders dog if you can't see that this is a mess and progress is painfully...read potentially dangerously slow.

Rumour is that one AW139 is still basically in the delivery crate at B'town. Slow golf clap please

slats11 is right...... there is a long long long way to go before either party can claim EMS is the focus. 'Retrieval' services are the focus of the ASNSW and business rules are CHC's main focus.

The poor unknowing public, people in need of Emergency assistance will have to wait and god help us, maybe hope HIRT survives.
