"Oct" are you actually raising a guinuine issue with regards to ATFM exemption, or are you using a forum to try and discredit a company? I would argue the later is your intent....?
The company based at EGHH sucessfully transports UK patients both private and NHS back to the UK for emergency/lifesaving medical treatment, and to be closer to their family with high quality medical treatment in difficult circumstances.
If you are raising a general concern or observation re ATFM exempt status then your posting probably needs to include, or review, other operators in this business and not just statements like 'Although judging by their past history probably not' which is an attempt purely to discredit a company. Maybe a starting block would be to look and see if this is true accross the other Air Ambulance UK operators. A starting point is to look at EGTE, EGTK or smaller operators/charter companies out of EGTF and other airfields. Once you have done a more rounded review of Air Amulance operations then your points maybe valid with regards to ATFM status and not just a blatent attack at one operator!
If there is a clear generalised abuse of an ATFM status, then with your evidence, and not just rants, you should pass this to the appropriate agencies such as ATC or DFT or CAA.
This is my rant over
