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!

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")

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.

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!

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 ?

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.
