Actuality Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 I just heard that Heli Source is opening 7 new bases in ex highland locations. Did they get all highlands work? Seems like quite the investment. Hope it pays off for them. Anyone know if they’re gonna be hiring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actuality Posted January 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Marblearch, I saw that article and that’s what got me interested. It’s a bold move when there are some already well established operators in FSJ. Good question displayname. Here’s some insight I found on the interweb.

ScottyDont Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 I think operations base has a pretty loose definition. I've been at companies who park a ship on the tarmac somewhere and advertise as a base... IMO if the base doesn't have a base manager or building, its not much of a base.

displayname Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 I remember at Northern Airsupport in Kelowna in the day. Had a closet with a phone for a Alberta company. Phone number was forwarded back to Alberta. Helped their machines get BC flying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
