drakkar, some of the kind folks at Bell (in quebec) did mention that to me and it is kind of funny. i wish that they had kept the original name (Vancouver Island Helicopters) but since their operation has expanded to encompass so much more than just VFR work on vancouver island, a name change was thought to be necessary.
having said that, they are a good outfit, with nice machinery, good maintenance and they pay me on time, so really i think i can deal with it
.
cheers all.
