Didnt CO push their Scheduled Times back because of near constant delays?

Very American article!

I doubt they have maxed their pilots out already. Sickness is a possability but more likely to be in Winter. Compared their daily operations of over 100 aircraft, I cant see how the Chartering some B757s, B767s etc over a bank holiday weekend is that significant!

Tech Delays etc are common especially on older members of the fleet. We once had I think it was G-EZYC based at BFS who declared emergencies alot as it kept thinking the engines were faulty.

If the GSM 767 was in daily for them I would be inclinded to think they had a more serious problem!

Bristow could be in trouble if they are unable to fullfill clients requirements due to lack of pilots etc. They will no doubt become more viable with crews next year as CHC Scotia are taking over all Search and Rescue Operations for the Coastguard.

Hmmm….

Well Said

Any some airlines such as Air Berlin are blocked from flytecomm etc

Good Point, I was going to say leaving fleet.
