Justin44 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 There is a report floating around about a company in Prince George doing the same thing. Anybody heard anything about that?? I'm hoping it isn't but does one of the outfits rhyme with "Smashmific Smesthern Shmelicopters" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
212wrench Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I know the guys with the goat parked 4 mediums and sent three out of country this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over-Talk Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I just spoke to one of those 'goat' guys. He said those 4 ships were returned to the leasing company a couple of years ago and weren't leased-out by anyone this year. They are still wearing 'goat' paint. The 3 that went to another country just moved to a different country from the one where they had been. Whatever the exact details are....their ships remaining in Alberta and BC had a quiet summer like everyone else. But at least their hangar lights are still on and they are anxiously waiting for ski season to start! Best wishes to all the other guys that are affected by this mess.

mmck Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Can someone list these 6 company's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helilog56 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I doubt you will see any company names posted, as most of the info is second hand or sheer speculation without any facts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveCut Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I've heard from a few sources, heard the names too but it isn't "all" from the horses mouth so I won't say. I'm not trying to single anyone out and it doesn't matter who is suffering. The fact that 6 companies may no longer exist is all I was pointing out. It's tough times and wish everyone luck staying alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiveCut Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I was merely stressing how hard things were by citing things I've heard. (a) Who cares about naming names & (2) it's not my business to disclose specifics on a public forum with a headlining disclaimer and code of conduct. Things will rear their heads themselves and my crystal ball is broken... Especially with this industry lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
