When Sean bought in he said there'd be less work some pilots due to financial constraints, while buying his 2 daughters back from Bond Offshore and giving them full time positions, as well as creating a job for one of their husbands. Nepotism yes, but the pilots that miss out are freelance so that's the business...

Pilots were told that pipeline work would get everyone involved but this has been only really done by one of the girls, the CP and with the expanding pipeline work another new pilot joined to do it rather than existing guys getting opportunities. Commitment to existing long serving guys?

Will Denham survive without Q? He is a big draw. I'm sure that if he is off then there are plenty of owners and pilots who will enable him to be very sucessful in his own right.

What about Flying TV? if all their regular piots are out of the door will they be sticking with HeliAir for pilotage / AOC work or making other arrangements?

I guess in the end if Sean can crew everything with Wellesbourne pilots he has brought in and share his vision for the company then that will suit him, a real shame to see the old HeliAir go by the wayside.
