Well, it is a Rumour network.
One Rumour, among several, is they didn't have "winch" approved on their Operators Cerificate, hence the need for another operator to cover the SAR requirements. Pretty sad state of affairs if there is any truth to it. (But technically not "failing" an inspection.)
Maybe they are not only "second tier" in employment conditions, but other areas as well?
