A little blue and white bird has whispered in my ear that they are not subsidized, but that the Danish goverment pays for the first year of a UN and related agencies contract as a donation to the UN. They have a certain amount available every year.On the second year the UN has to pay....... Does that makes sence why they keep some contracts only for a year before losing them to some South African operators, only to rewin the bid the following year. One of the South African operators told me they rechearched the deal extensivly for holes, but it is as watertight as a ducks ass. Well if its true who will be able to beat it? Nobody I ever worked for! This little song was confirmed by 2 of the AA drivers I got to know quite well. For AA not to pull the rabbit out of the hat in time has happened before. They showed up 14 days lat in the DRC as well and was sent home. So it looks like they are working on a reputation of not being able to deliver.
Only time will tell
