The CAA Consultation paper for the proposed
astronomic hike of UK SRG fees is set to close on December 12th.
If we don't stand up and be counted now these fees will be pushed through and the whole industry will suffer.
Implementation of the proposed price structure
will put operators out of business. The costs are not sustainable by operators, some are facing an increase of 400%, (£7500 to £30,000 per annum, check my maths please!?!)
It
will encourage Illegal Charter and Debenture Operations.
If you are in any way involved with the UK Helicopter Industry, please post a comment using the online submissions system with the following link:

The document is the SRG Charges 2009 / 10 Consultation document, and we are particularly interested in Paragraph 4.1.2.
Please, Please, Please get involved whatever your link to the industry. Like the Age discrimination battle, this needs to be taken back to the CAA and we all need to stand up and be counted. Whilst you may rely on the BHA to represent the industry, and they DO DO A GREAT JOB, they only count as one vote, so please get involved.
Many Thanks,
QM
