BM,
With regards to the NSWAA contract as others have said, we are all guessing at this stage.
Current rumour and far from being decided is a combination of 200/350 at this stage, (possibly 2x2) this will ultimately be determined by the ambulance service.
I don't have the AIP's handy, would the requirement to carry an alternate not be sufficient ? (given the 350 is over 5700)
It would affect ops into about 7 airports in western NSW. (not including the area served by the BHI aircraft)
The boys and girls at EN will be hoping like hell that Rex management have a dramatic change of attitude towards their staff before 1/7/2011 (assuming current staff are offered ongoing employment
)
It will no doubt be a very different "conditions sandwich" being offered by Pelair/Rex/SQ.
Good luck to all when the time comes.
