Actually stacey_s, you make a great point. The reason I haven't asked about that is because although ADA might be lacking in other areas at least what I have read about them is that they are #1 in maintaining the fleet.

That's the first thing I researched before even considering ADA or any other company. I've worked for companies that don't seem to care if their machines are top notch or not and hope to never have to do it again. I really hated when after complaining about a specific helicopter for a while I called the mechanic and he came over for a really weird noise the turbine was making on start up. The mechanic verified with the main office and told them it wasn't normal but they disregarded his opinion and they said it was ok and I took off. Less than an hour in flight and the engine exploded with 2 large bangs that almost shook my glasses off of my face ! Good thing it was a twin and I was just 3 miles away from an airport. I limped it in and never flew for them again.
