That's two Australian family aviation companies that have been undercut by foreign companies. Good on ya QLD Gov and AMSA...bunch of w%&kers.
You forget that the contract that Cobham have was commenced in 1994/5 by NJS, then an Australian company owned by Warren Seymour & Adelle Lloyd. Should all the Aussies employed, subject now to foreign ownership they had no say in, be retrenched just because of a buy-out?
