Word is that the Nt Government have extended the decision date by a further 3 months.
I guess this will also allow them time to organise an MEL for the fleet!
apart from a faintly disbeliving comment, I'm suprised that no one is saying anythng about the potential horror story unfolding - a 24 hour medical service, operating from remote locations with no engineering support, inexperienced pilots and no MEL.
