Lots of turnover at remote helicopters?

[310-FIRED]

I heard they have gone through almost a whole roster of pilots in the past couple years, what’s happening over there?

New managment, psychotic owner, trying to operate as cheaply as possible because lack of work. A tale as old as time

Ya got all that from one phone call? I didn't think Pool pilot's advice would pay off!

Seems like everywhere is hurting right now. I think a lot of places are trying to run lean in this economy.

What's the point in owning a parked helicopter?

I can’t disagree with that…

The point is probably the owners would rather go broke parked with something sellable. Then go broke with something they can't sell because they can't afford to fix it.

Kind of amazes me how some people think operators should go out and work for nothing a long as the flight crew are not asked to take a wage roll back. If the owners ask for wage cutbacks then everyone gets on the forum and calls them cheap. It's ok for the owners to work for nothing. Just don't ask me to do that.

Maybe all the leased helicopters that can’t be crewed will get returned?

Other than insurance cost's most leased machines these days are power by the hour.
