You mean we'll have to paint all the Helicopters again!

I still have the burn scars from the last "branding" process.

New Hats and Shirts for all.

It's totally true..!

This is true...I heard it today from a secret source within the company...

CHC is being bought by Tesco and will be renamed CHC Extra. And all pilots will be paid in Tesco Points and Clubcard deal vouchers. And the uniform...well that will be really smart..........

hahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa. Thats a good one man. Thanks for the laugh. Oh no wait .....you were serious???? sorry.

Well then. CHC is a publicly traded company and as such anyone who can amass more voting shares than anyone else can to some extent control the company. As far as I know the largest trading block remains in the hands of the dobbin family and if they (young Mark) decides its time to sell and get into some other line of work then someone else will become the controlling shareholder. And that someone else could very well be Ken Norie CEO and Grand Master of VIH Group. It wouldn't be the first time a little guy came along and swallowed the whale. We could turn the Humming Chickens around and make them face west again!

The only thing I know for sure other than that is that it won't be me or Albatross. We have better things to spend our money on.

Yeah to that brother Delaminator-

But - knowing you as I do - Wouldn't you like to be in charge for a day or two - just long enough to take revenge on those that have offended you and then ride off into the sunset taking a very large bonus with you?

Roll on the 6/49 retirement plan!

I'll be home in March - I'll call - we'll talk.
