The fact that crews were sent to fly them back to Ireland would show that someone thought all the boxes had been ticked, just as well they don't work for Sir Alan Sugar coz most lightly you would be F****. Basic mistake for such such a contract, lack of planning. When was it won by CHC?

If the US paperwork was indeed the oversight by CHC Ireland, the only people to answer that question are the AMERICAN's. Not the first time they have helped out in this part of the world. Mind you not sure if that is the prob considering Ireland is still part of the British Isles and the S92's are transfering from one EU country to another.

Sounds like a lot of probs in SAR Ireland for CHC, at least on the surface Bristow's seem to be a lot more successful at implementing their SAR contract, mind you no doubt CHC Ireland will start to loose people to Bristow's. No aircraft, unhappy staff and on the back heel, not a good sign for things to come. Who rescue's the Irish MCA from this ?

My mate in Bristow's filled me in on the US paperwork that is holding up the UK SAR S92's going to CHC Ireland SAR Contract. This is a big issue if the paperwork was not filed by the Company. Bristow's have a department in house for dealing with this issue, would be surprised if CHC don't considering , correct me if I'm wrong but they bring aircraft from many locations around the world. This is basic stuff in the world of large helicopter operators you would think

With a start for one of these aircraft being July 1st as you have said, they certainly know how to cut things fine.
Sleepless nights for some people I would have thought.
Not far from Enniskillen now by the looks of things, according to AIS.

Still in the UK but closer to their final homes
Are they staying in MCA colours or do the Irish MCA have their own colour scheme? Is there a spray facility in Enniskillen or Northern Ireland?

All I know is there's more space in Sumburgh now and those 92's are closer to there final destination. Mind you they could have been sprayed in the UK, plenty of good paint shops over here. Roll on the other Bristow Cabs going to Stornoway

Aircraft only released on 1st June. Crews all trained, operational and moving back to an area that most have operated in for over 5 years. Service delivery by 1st July. Like I said Non event.

Ah now MTB,
Just because somebody challenged your axe grinding mountain out of a molehill attitude theres no need to spit the dummy. What I find really interesting with you is that you wish good luck to the crews who's livelihood depend on this contract yet obviously hope it falls on its ass to spite the management. Had a little run in with them have we?
How about waiting until the 1st July and if it's 'Meanttobe' then it's 'Meanttobe' rather then asserting that the entire contract is in disarray over what is a fairly small delay.
