Ornge Pc 12's

Post by Catdriver »

does anyone know what will happen to the medevac companys in Ontario when Ornge bring in the PC 12 's?
Will these companys be working less and will they get rid of aircraft?
Has anyone heard anymore about the employment conditions offered? which would be better, working for Thunder, AirBravo, Voyageur, or Ornge?
Will many of the pilots working for these medevac operations jump ship to work at Ornge?

As I understand it...ORNGE is bringing the dedicated part of Ontario's air ambulance inhouse. Voyageur use to have the contract for dedicated using 200's. This expires shortly. The BLS (basic life support) will still go to "on demand" contracts with charter companies.

Oh sure, but that other fella has two active usernames so perhaps he doesn't mind the similar handle... besides, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. 8)

I haven't heard anything about who took the C.P job or even when the interviews are for captains and FO's?
Surely there must be something happening soon...

people will lose interest and Ornge will find it hard to get crews!!
