Thanks for posting the link guys - interesting development indeed. Wonder why they pulled out in the end?

I think I could make a good guess........

and where does this leave Drakens helicopter business?

Well it is a rumour network after all Crab - go for it ;)

Simon K - if you knew who I worked for - well until the end of the year anyway - you would probably guess where I would point the finger................

I have no idea who you work for Crab...not to worry was just curious anyway. I'm sure it will all come out in the wash soon enough.

Well if you are in partnership with a company who has a spineless leadership team and can't manage important contracts properly - including being very disingenuous with the customers - wouldn't you pull the pin if you had an international reputation to protect?

Ok I get the picture, cheers :)

Guess you’re not referring to Draken pulling the pin…🙄

well said Crab! Not much left for their rotary business now!

Boom, mike drop, leaves the room...

Brilliant! Care to offer an opinion on the plank side of the company or shall we apply carte blanche there also?

Draken have just informed staff that they are pulling the pin on all their helicopter contracts

What ? the Dutch Antilles and Cyprus?

wow - glad I did nt get the job with them now (they have operations in W Mids as well)

You dodged a bullet there. When Cobham bought FB Heliservices they kept the same incompetent management- this was a fatal mistake. Draken bought a business that was terminally ill, run by bullies and arrogant narcissists.

I feel for the guys losing their jobs, but they will hopefully find some comfort in the fact that anyone else will be better to work for.

Where is the 'Like' button?

Don’t know just how bad that operation was, but be careful, they might not be the worst . . .

Bullying and arrogant narcissist management. Hmmn, bit of an industry pandemic right there. Sadly, the cuckoos are sure to inculcate themselves into a new nest and muck things up anew.
