so all the call for charter aircraft to provide the airlift!!!!!
who would be picking up the pieces if poor XL still had the FI contract
Latest rumour for next contract company to pick up that run is a company that have just been prosecuted by the FAA and CAA for flying outside the MEL with no good reason
Its been proven in the past with the US Miltary go for the cheapest option with yr charter and it will bite you.
Big difference with what we do and what the civvies do, is we are extremely safety minded where civvies are finance driven. Thats why the when we have a snag if there is a doubt we dont fly, where the civvies, may push it, I know I have been in the civvy world and been pushed to carry stuff!
