vortex 60 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 There's currently more helicopters and operators then there is work. The herd is going to get smaller for a while... The banks will do the culling. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
helimat 33 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Some operators will look at this as an opportunity to get people who are desperate for work to move to the sticks, so they don't have to shell out for flights etc 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Third_Left_Eye 3 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 There's something to be said about not having all your eggs in the "fire season" basket. It might actually as a wake up call for some operators that they need to diversify their work a bit. Reminds me of when oil and gas prices plummeted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
