[Big Duke 6]

Boyz, Come on tell us what you really think 😉 Glad to see the boys out west on the same page. B)

 

[VERTICAL REF]

Don't even get me started on this french / west thing...did a lengthy thread on the old forum bout this crap! 🙄 🙄

next thing you know all the safety meetings and hazard reports will have to be bilingual, billingall, bungunhal, bingal what ever that other language is. :blink:

be lucky to get skids off by lunch time...

407, last seismic job i was on had an aes astar on it. guy flew like an idiot and will end up reading about him in the vortex i'm sure. mind you they say the same about me! :blink:


let heli inter and the rest of the frenchwannabewesterners look after the maple syrup, and we will tend to the oil and gas!!! thanks for comming out but no thanks!

i laugh everytime i see a "helicoptres canadian' helicopters" go by

 

[Biggles]

Hey VERT REF, you are hillarious, hallarius, hilairious, dam funny! I remember the old discussion on the old "other site" and if I remember right, I chuckled then as well! 😛

Behave yourself, don't wanna read about anybody in the next Vortex ! Unless its under the rib receipe section that CTD's mentioned. :hide:

[VERTICAL REF]

hey Bigzie, good to here from ya! Been a while, busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest - you know how it is! will catch up soon!

 

[Biggles]

Yep, sure do, know how it is, that is. Just get enough time to lurk around this site and read up somewhat diagonally on the current happenings.

Bigger talk during the off season

Vert-Ref didn't mean to touch a nerve, however we are on the same page. I have a hard time convincing myself that it's okay for french operators to engage western operators on there own back 40, but when the roles are reversed the first time you try and bid a job in Queerbec the politics and laws are brutal. I'am all for a competitive indusry to allow quality and professionalism to excel . However put it on a level playing field and get rid of the double standard. :rant: The indusry needs to work together to allow the market to stabalize so that operators, pilots, and engineers are not working for 1970s wages and 2003 living expenses. I hope for all of us, that company's are expanding due to market demand, and not trying to manipulate the customers perceptions or capture sectors of the industry by driving tariffs and ultimately profit margins even further into the toilet. :down: B)

 

[VERTICAL REF]

Well put Big Duke, and polite too!

I am not so well polished...


NO - gun registration,
- Wheat board,
- Koyoto accord,
- fags gettin' married,
- no low ballin' eastern tariff rates.


PROTECT THE WEST!

You wanna wear a turbin and a uniform at the same time in my country you better be standing behind the counter at a 7-11...

Ironic is it not that the french choppers are built in Ontario and the Texas Redneck one's are built in Quebec...go figure? :blink:

 

[Pitch Link]

Its amazing how no company who knows this clown would touch AES. It takes an Eastern influence with no idea of his practices to jump in feet first. I pass on my condolences to the guys at Mustang. You were on your way to an A grade company. I hear the mass excidess has already started. I look forward to seeing your resumes cross my desk.

Vertical Ref: With the federal government's start up cost money being at @ ratio of about 10:1 between Bell and MBB (now part of Eurocpter) it is easy to see how Bell ended up in " La Belle province"

:wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

 

[VERTICAL REF]

Elvis, you are 100% correct...ya think BC , Alberta or the Maritimes were offered such a deal to entice Ma Bell? Just a few similarities in the past, F-18 contracts, Marconi, "Bombadeer" etc. Or maybe the frenchmen are just better businessmen? Not...!!!

So did Musty helicopters lease, buy or rent this stuff? I cannot see how they could "sell" (or sell out!) the crews from AES to Musty?

 

[Elvis]

Vertical; any bets the MPH contract will go to helicopter with the most Quebec content.

:unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

 

[VERTICAL REF]

Elvis, we should go to Vegas!!! 😉 😉 😉

 

[Biggles]

Speaking of Vegas, we should think about the HAI in March. So far seems like the Biggsie gets to go this year! Might be fun getting a few of us together! AND, being on the convention/exhibitor subject, any of you who would like to be great souls and rescue the Biggster from the YYZ AME Show, by all means, ya'll welcome to visit me, heck, I'll even buy the bevies. 😀

 

[Pitch Link]

Vertical Ref,
I think the guys who were sold out were the Mustang guys. Most of them were ex AES and moved on because of the shady operations there. It will be a big shake up when the merger happens.

 

[southoftheborder]

Careful boys your starting to sound and look like the forum on JustHelicopters where all they do is bash each other and thats not what this is intended for
