sumtingwong, I am given to understand that the Ausjet boss is currently in the process of buying the required aircraft in Europe (Sweden or thereabouts?)

Have you applied to the 'new' operator IAW their recent ad? I hope you get a gig; that all the Pearl drivers are looked after. None of this is the fault of the drivers.....as usual.

Jamair, thanks for that.

Yeah I'd heard they were sourcing them from Poland (wonder if the altimetry will be in metres)? I worry that they wont have them aeromedically ready by 1/7/10 which will mean guess who will be expected to manually lift patients on stretchers by themselves. (you know the nurses and certainly the doc's wont help).

RFDS Eastern Gold Fields, at the time WA was three sections.

Victoria - of course they were in the NW, Derby ?,
Eastern Gold Fields - eastern bits, and,
West ops ( I think ), JT, GEL, CAR and MEK ?.

Jamair, do you also fly the C208 ?.

Great! A thread that is important to those who are directly affected most likely closed because a few have a problem with the size of their penis.

For the ones with that, then, we can only pity. The best outcome for a car accident, or any person requiring medical assistance in the N.T., is a reliable and prompt evacuation system to a centre with facilities. If your politics, personalities, and company manoeuvrings prohibit provision of that in a cost effecive manner - then the rest of Australia can only pity the people calling the shots there.. and those who live there..

I pity more the communities/stations/towns that req the service but are being led astray by petty politics and government meandering and red tape.
Crying shame the staff who choose to do this type of work are pinned to the wall on a daily basis.

An occasion I am familiar with where the prompt professionalism and skill of dedicated Aero Med staff saved a young mans life was in late 2003, when I got a call from the sister to get to Tennant Creek to help on their property. The Head Stockmans son had had an accident on a four wheeler on the service road alongside the new railway. Unknown to him and his school chum on the back, a contractor had just graded new table drains to shed the water away from the rail line across the road at intervals. They drove headfirst into one at speed. The lad was smashed about the head and unconcious, with liver and internal injuries, and the friend had both arms broken among other injuries. He had a mobile phone but couldn't even press the buttons with his nose to call for help, but staggered a couple of miles to alert the family. On the air evacuation, the unconcious lad's breathing (or heart) stopped, but they got him started again. After a brief stop in Alice Springs to stabilize him, he was later flown on to Adelaide where he spent many months recovering. His mother and father also went to be with him. It was touch and go for some time. Well done people, thanks from all our families. Don't let the petty politics prevent the efficient provison of this Essential Service.. frigate

BTW, I currently fly both PC12 and B200; I have no interest in turning this into yet another pointless single vs twin debate. Perhaps those with chips on their shoulders on that topic could start their own thread on the subject?
I tried that, but the subject just will not die.

http://www.pprune.org/jet-blast/4080...x-because.html

I once had a checkie simulate a second engine fail on me in a B200. Full glide approach. not a sensation I ever want to experience for real. Had to buy new undies before I could buy him lunch and a beer.

We all have preferences but if I was faced with flying 'the other one' or being out of work, well I guess I would. It is not like anyone in NT (pilots) or any other section will have much of a choice in the matter.
