Ok everyone, lets see you down on one knee.
Bow your heads and reapeat after me.
Oh CHC,
You are so BIG,
You are all knowing,
Lead us! For we know not what we do.
Save us from those small companies and charitable organisations, with little respect for the value of shares on the stock exchange.
These infidels know not what they do.
Give us the strength to accept everything you say and to follow you blindly.
Give our Air Crewmen the strength and wisdom to accept your vision and to enjoy the 24 hour shifts.
And though regularly called in to start work, 9 hours prior to the commencement of said rostered 24 hour shifts, please forgive us our doubts in your wisdom and if you care for our welfare.
Though you feel we are weak for at times falling asleep in the cockpit after 31 hours at work, please forgive us, for you know better than the infidel clients who want to formally report such indiscretions but rightly fear that as individuals we are likely to be struct down by the mighty CHC sword.
Thank you for our AW139 and it's limited ability to respond at night, for without your forsight we would now be moving more of the sick and injured people of NSW than we are now and the value of the tried and tested 412EP in EMS may go unrecognised.
In the name of big business, Flight Standards Adelaide and the all mighty dollar.
In CHC's name we pray, AHMEN!
PS: On a positive note Thank God for all the hard working and committed individuals from CHC and Ambulance that show great respect for each other and value the skills, knowledge and experience of each team member, despite the challenges and frustrations of working for two large and inflexible organisations not to mention within 'the contract'.
Long live small operational TEAMS and their commitment to get the job done safely and in a timely manner. You guys rock!
NB: CHC disciples I await your predictably holier than thou response.
