Mike and Keith should be ashamed of inviting their bretheren into such a job on such a piddling salary.
This project is swimming in cash, the Algerians have paid big bucks to buy the lynx and 101. All the companies involved are creaming off the top and dealing the swarf out to the practitioners....again.
I'd heard rumours that some of the Algerian contract has been farmed out to Tiger helicopters on R22/44? Any truth in that. If so, you can bet your bottom dollar they have paid the going rate for twin turbines to fund that.
Dirty business.
