NSW EMS sensitive spot?

So where did the NSW EMS contract is a LEMON thread go?

It seems that someone is unable to take criticism!

Surely if it was OK to stick the boot into the previous holders of the health contract - ie., the NGO's, particularly during the lead up to the controversial tender process, then surely it should be equally as fair to have comments made about the current contract holder and their performance?

NSW EMS sensitive spot?

I was wondering that myself. I hadn't followed the discussion for a few days. When I checked today it had mysteriously been erased! So much for free speech!

NSW ambulance look to be getting screwed over by this contract. There have been lots of paramedics resigning these past six months, and more to come I hear. The rats are starting to jump the sinking ship.

Anyway, only 6 more years to go!

Perhaps Riadbec might explain why?

Did the post about "career ending comments" get a bit close to home per chance?

Glad you all had the same problem too. Thought it was just me for a little while.

Perhaps riadbec was scared that bubbafrog might find out who they are.

None the less dissappointed it is gone. Overall I thought it was one of the better threads re: NSW Helo EMS. Did start to loose it towards the end though.

Maybe we could pick it up from here.

With reading this post regarding CHC in Sydney, it is interesting to see that Riadbec (the originator), Class C and Slats 11 all make their first post on Pprune by slandering someone.

A few axes to grind among these guys methinks. Why don't you try and turn around the apparent lack of operational cudos at the hangar at Bankstown rather than trowing mud??? (Notice that I said "TRY")

I don't think it is possible to turn this mess around.

Besides, he who lives by the sword.......

So things are no better? I was contemplating one of the jobs they got going. Sounds like I should give it a miss hey.

Oogle - might have missed something here, but can you point out where exactly the "slander" was in my post?

The point I was making was simply that the NGO's had to deal with the criticism (deserved or not) in this public forum, therefore why not the new operator?

Seems the sensitive spot belongs to you.

May be the rosters. May be the constant rotation of new staff (both crew and pilots). May be the customer.

Speaking of operational difficulties, any truth to the rumour regarding an engine start two days ago at YSBK with the tail rotor still tied down ?

I have heard they are working the same roster as backseat crew in other bases... what is the problem??? Is Sydney really that bad??? There doesn't seem to be too many positive comments going around.

Starting with the rotor tied down, noone is ammune, it can happen to the best of us, and the worst. Don't pass judgement to quickly or you may find it happens to you.

I know you didn't pass any judgement, you just threw it out there for comment, but I know what you were thinking!

Thumbs down

I refer the honourable gentlemen to the reply I gave some moments ago. (On the previous thread.) LET HE WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE! You guys are unbelieveable. With a culture where you seem to revel in each other's misfortunes/errors to such a degree, is it any wonder you've got problems?

It's concerning that the Bankstown crowd are starting to get a bit of an incident history.

I hope they are able to curtail it before something happens.

can't be Bubbafrog, no accent.

can't blame the provider, all and sundry know it's ASNSW and they couldn't even run a chook raffle on a Friday night at the local. They used to get a lot of free services from the NGO's but now days improvements cost them.
