Helijet C+

[canuck]

With about 6 weeks to go before the new air ambulance contract starts I haven't seen any sign on the TC registry of the 76C+'s that Helijet is supposed to operating for the new contract. Is it "normal" to not have a aircraft when you're this close to a contract start date? Not a big deal, I'm just kind of curious about what's going on.

Just a little thread drift: Did VIH keep the PR contract?

Helijet won all three Dick. To rub salt in they have no chance or intention of showing up on April 1st with the C+ they promised. They have no facilities machines drivers or engineers to do it with two months to go.

 

Of course they do have the advantage of being the Governments private city to city airline.

 

Sour grapes?? You bet.

So, what is Helijet paying their pilots these days?? Anyone know?

Ran into a couple of their guys doing the transition course to the C

 

Mention picking a machine up in the western states in the coming weeks.

in other news they managed to buy VIH's hangar in Seal Cove YPR. That is the end of an era.

It certainly is.

 

More interesting developments to unfold before the change-over.

I heard that Helijet is insolvent. How can an insolvent company win a multi-million dollar contract from the provincial government?
