Albert Ross -------Alec is retiring? I didn't really need to know that. I thought I was the only one getting old. What's he going to do......return to Montreal and run the "Rainbow Bar & Grill" again?

I have some information from some sources that there are some big changes happening with CHC. Maybe just rumour but Allard and the Coast to Coast group may be taking over. Big shuffles and new appointments at the executive leve as well.......

 

 

OHMYGOD!!

One Mr. Dobbin owns most of the shares. What happens, will happen when he says it's going to happen......public company or no public company. I believe the saying is ....."stupid like a fox".

Guido Lepore the former assistant CP is the new CP, Alec has an advisory role until retirement in May next year. Guy Smith ex TC Pacific and Helijet CP is now the Global standards and Ops manager. Among the crews on my base these are all really popular appointments and hopefully a step in a new direction. All the other moves at the corporate level are desk drivers and too numerous to list.

Guy Smith ? Good thing he made it into management cause he couldn't land an ASTAR from the left seat if his life depended on it!

 

Former PPC holder- Guy Smith!
