RE: Bases are dead...
Is that official or just rumour? Whats your source? I'm only interested in fact.
I'm sure bases are there for operational reasons and not purely financial reasons. i.e. A guy calls sick down-route, hey presto we have a base with a guy on standby, no big dramas.
Obviously I want to hear that bases are not dead otherwise I would not be asking, but I'm only interested in truth.
