Saddest news this year! End of an ERA indeed. Guessing some people's pockets are getting lined well, as surely no one could be that stupid. It seems another will drown in the offshore industry.

Night VFR may be banned, but it certainly does not stop anyone down there from flying at night. Transponder OFF, and done.

Saddest news ever.
I always liked Columbia Helicopters, and now they will be Bristow. What a shame. An O&G heli company buying a great utility company. Needless to say how that will go.

They hired a few pilots before the end of 2010, and are good for helicopter pilots at the moment. No idea about fixed wing drivers though.
