Here we are
We have all moved on, happy days.
Hows that SAR contract working out Cobham. Not so good I hear, costing an actual fortune in LDs, wont make a profit this decade. And still contractually non compliant. Didnt see that coming - Not

I don't think BAT has a chip on the shoulder, as far as misinformation goes if you look back at their posts it all seems quite factual. I can help with the request to share information.
Cobham is over, the SAR contact is a loss producing venture, and still not contractually compliant. The jet is simply the wrong aircraft.
Border force struggles to maintain its required rate of effort due to crew levels. B717 contact wither s on the profit vine.FiFo not really worth a mention. The only way forward is to carve up the bits and rejig or discontinue the unprofitable elements.
There will not be a rush of customers to buy all or parts of this company, why would you. Going back a few years now there were a bunch of new SAR crew who were understandably eager to get started, but at the same time bagged the committment and experience of the previous contract operators. You guys will now know what it's like to be abandoned by the client and your employer. Karma served, but there will always be a place for experienced professionals, you just don't know where or when that will be.
