Is there any truth in the fact that NPAS are having to go hand in cap to the Govt as they are £8 million in the red despite budget cuts, this no doubt will lead to more cutbacks of airframes and bases?
I heard also that WMP who had a budget of around £1.7 million when they owned and operated their aircraft are now paying £2.4 million for the same hours ( when they can get aircover!) for a service and they own nothing!!
Now thats a deal....you can hear the salesman..." yes sir we will take your car off you and instead of paying £170 a month running costs we will give you one to rent for £240 a month, however we can't promise you can have it when you need it as someone might need the shopping fetching in Taunton"
Ummm the WMP negotiator of that deal should be down the job shop......
Of course if all the above is true
