Shifting gears, not Babcock - hearing Sunwest now ... Manitoba would be great for them, and vis versa.

Also interesting that they added a Citation to their fleet - falls in line with the NPP# 28860 just announced that is a 10 yr contract for the old LifeFlight program - could be quite the ambulance campus over there with STARS next door.

Rumblings of Babcock acquiring SkyNorth in Winnipeg - gets them big new hangar on west side, and a foothold to fixed wing ambulance, and additional bomber maintenance space.

The Procurement Services Branch published a letter dated today (April 16, 2019) that their department is ... "in the midst of preparing the next steps in regards to the Air Ambulance portion of the RFP. At the appropriate time, we will be in contact with you regarding the next steps" No-one has been...

So Vanguard Air Care is running around telling everyone they have the RFP Ambulance contract (however it has not been announced). They are making a concerted effort to poach AMS medic staff from other carriers using this statement even though it is not true - real greasy! They even have their rampie...

This is why I'm dumping all my shares in this company ... when you get rid of capable and knowledgable people within your organization simply to prop up your dividends.

Wow, those in charge of Perimeter say their aircraft need to get "accustomed" to the cold ... http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/criticized-for-ongoing-delays-perimeter-aviation-to-purchase-additional-aircraft-407523956.html So, apparently all the aircraft from different companies they chartered...

Love how Perimeter and EIC Group is spinning story to make it sound like weather when in fact Transport
had been there last week resulting in the fleet parked on Friday.

No Dash 8's running yet

All in the name of keeping up the EIC share price for investors

Was told this morning deferred snags and how they are handled is the issue ... company advised to ground fleet or have it done for them.
Nolinor CV-580 chartered to do Island Lake scheds today.
Gonna be a few days or more to clear up issues.
Very unhappy campers up north.

Love the "word on the street" opinions ... Notams generally cover soft & wet conditions, regular flights and medevac flights have been in and out on a daily basis. The crew did land prior to their departure "hence" is the decision making process a factor? Let's hope a taxi way departure wasn't part ...
