Is the deal that bad ?
Is the PFI deal really as bad as Coffman makes out ?
Looking at the money Babcock pay the maintenance guys it would suggest that their manpower costs are less than having service personel working the aircraft.
It would be an interesting debate, can someone out there bring any clarity to this without suggesting that the maintenance hungry oil slick that was the Chipmunk a better aircraft for the task.
( yes I Know the Chipmunk is a delight to fly )
