Is this the contract currently held by RFDS (SE) out of Launceston? Be interesting to see if they keep it, after the EN loss....

Sure is, the RFDS have been trying very hard to keep the contract and avoid it going to tender. Unfortunately the state finances are a mess & the state gov are looking for any savings that can be made. I doubt that the RFDS will have much chance of winning the contract, send your applications to Pel Air now I say...

Good come back there 'LS' that philosophy could also extend to.... does anybody want to fly in an Airbus that's powered by a RR engine? The 'list' covers ALL operators. These Aeromedical contracts are based on one thing........MONEY, not who's the best.

You know, the more I read from you Lester, the more I'm convinced you're Lim Kim Dim Sim himself from Pelair/Rex.

You never have ANYTHING good to say about RFDS and will defend Pelair/Rex at all costs.

Makes me wonder, .

But but but Pelair "IS Aeromed". Forget about freight-no money there. "Pelair are Aeromed" in Australia. So what about the RFDS, PELAIR IS AEROMED!

All the good folk of Tasmania need to do is keep one eye on Victoria. Don't be too hasty with any rash decisions.

'Hans' am very aware of MTG & CFS thanks. 10 yrs in the service I'd hardly think I would not know about those two accidents, one very sad.

Wally, I don't think Hans was having a go; in fact I think he was saying that HE has been out of the loop rather than you.

Considering the record of RFDS ops over 87 years, vs ANY other operator, I would happily put my welfare in RFDS hands.

I will be an interested observer, I think the landscape will be very different in the next two years.

Back on topic the Tas contract is looking for a January 2012 start date..."tell him he's dreamin son"!

I think there is relevance looking back on the Coffs incident right now. Alot of holes lined up that day and lessons learnt by the RFDS. (the MTG accident was tragic but a reason has never really been found. I have a theory but so do alot of others). Pelair right now have a new aircraft type, new pilots and a dead line to adhere too. Alot of pressure, similarity's to the lead up to Coffs and alot of holes lining up. Does Tassie want to run this risk? Sure by the time Tassie start a new contract every thing may settle down for Pelair but maybe not. The biggest asset they have in LT is their "people". Pilots and Engineering etc etc. The scariest thing is that in Victoria 75% of the pilots are not staying. 75% of the biggest assest-gone. As I said earlier Tassie should be keeping one eye on Victoria.
