VERTICAL REF Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 seeing how there is such a demand for medium crews and it is getting to be that time of year, what seems to be the going rate for the thumper crews this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downwash Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Sorry, gang. I keep forgetting we''re supposed to be FUNNY here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downwash Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Yeah, V Ref, except the tariffs unfortunately don''t have much to do with what an operator bids on a job. The unnamed Winnipeg-St. Andrews Bell medium operator who got the only Manitoba forestry medium tendered this year did so at, essentially last year''s rate, with no increase over a 3-year deal. Sorry, hard to remember to keep it light! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downwash Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 If the rates that have been surfacing for jobs between ten and two or three hundred hours are any indication, there''s a lot of hurtin'' folk out there, desperate to ''create cash flow.'' Add that reality to the amount of iron for sale or lease and the basement prices, and you don''t even have to look at the mess the world is in to see some pretty ugly handwriting on the wall. It''s a buyer''s dream, if you can convince yourself you need to buy but, like noted above, the demand''s not too great for the foreseeable. (And did I hear someone talking about bringing more pilots into the country?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERTICAL REF Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 i thought the medium tarrifs went up this year - except for of course the usual bottom feeders. no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
