Tassie Aeromedical Contract
 

The open tender for the contract has been advertised by the state government. The tender closes on July 6.

Anyone can provide a link? I guess it would be an interesting read

Here you go -
Tasmanian Government Tenders - Fixed Wing Aero-Medical Services

appreciated, thankyou

rotary wing
 

So who got the rotary wing contract in TAS or is it still under discussion.

a Victorian based Kingair has been touring the islands airstrips .....

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...:{

G'day 'tas'..............I'd be very sad to hear if you guys end up the way we where at EN, kicked out due money alone...........there's no honor in anything these days the bean counters run the world:-( Humans are just a 'tool to be used:-(

Good luck hope that common sense prevails................Pelair???? God 'elp you lot !:sad:

Isn't Tassie a smallish island surrounded by water? :p

Ah (so) Confuscious make plediction..................

Perair win contlact................

Perair is inundated (confuscious hate frucking words with l and r so inundated good word) with appricants for pirot jobs.

Harf of appricants knocked back.......ahh, you ask why? Appricants not have physics pass? Appricants not have veggie maths pass? No.......harf of appricants cannot swim :cool:

Molar of story? You cannot swim, you a rooser :=

You funny flucker 'JR':E Ingrish & pisix guarantee to make land right?:E
Just don't get sick in Tassie is all I can say:)

Pelair& Is Ops don't mix:-)

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.



Wmk2

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, :hmm:.

morno

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.

Must be out of the loop Wally.....what's Lester's references to Gambier and Coffs referring to?????
Were there some incidents regarding RFDS?
..............I need to get out more.

Hans

'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:sad:.


Wmk2

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.:eek:

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. :ok:
