The new standard of special mission ops in Australia

Well here we are, 9 months into the contract and a capability that is measured somewhere in the vicinity of less than 50 % contractually compliant. And this is now accepted as the new standard. The aircraft and equipment continues to fall short of Cobhams contracted claims. The crew, what there is of them are looking at their employment options. As a Surveillance/ SAR platform there are plenty of better jet options than the 604. Wake up government, the industry shakes it's head at your selection of company and aircraft.
