John Eacott,
Thank you for sharing with us both your personal experience as a small operator and your views, definitely refreshing after the gloom and doom vibe that arised over this thread.
I must say that I got slightely confused though when you write that obtaining a contract up front prior to acquiring an aircraft is key, along with the marketing before the helos arrive. How can you possibly seriously advertise your company when the hangar is empty?
Thank you also for the realistic time frames required by the CASA in order to process the paperwork.
Again thanks for your positive attitude
