Phil Croucher Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 I've just been doing CRM for a company whose customer's risk assessment people restricted landings to 7 a day because that fitted their model. And consultants? Are we talking about people who ran out of fuel in flight? Or who ran off the end of a runway and got it extended, neglecting to mention that they actualy started to take off from the middle? With that sort of background, it's no wonder we're in trouble!

downwash Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Nice note with the FW example there, Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERTICAL REF Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 There are approx 900 commercial charter helicopters in Canada! This does not include military, government, or private use. In other words, 900 that you need a PPC to fly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Croucher Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Hi Downwash - maybe you know who I'm talking about, but, fixed wing or not, that guy is instrumental in a lot of helicopter decisions right now. And the other example was in either a Lama or an Alouette - he told me, but I forgot. phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windslapper Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 What is the average of pilot to working machine numbers? I know this all depends on variables but a mean average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downwash Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Yeah, too true, Phil! I suppose you could put it down to another example of people of our particular (RW) persuasion not seizing the initiative and offering a like service with a more credible knowledge and experience base.

Phil Croucher Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 I tried that but customers don't want to listen! At least I'm a registered consultant! Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downwash Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Strange, what? Given that they've accepted 'advice' in the first place, wouldn't it follow that they'd accept an even more credible variety? Or is that just my idealism showing again? And why is this post comprised of nothing but questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinstar_ca Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 And why is this post comprised of nothing but questions? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> is there really any answer to that??? people in business will still, it seems, pay good money to hear what they want to hear as opposed to the reality of what they need to hear.. we were doing some fire training for a client last fall and he got his nose out of joint when one of our contract instuctors gave him some hard truth about the shape of his firefighting equipment... he called us last month to see if we would come do some more training on foam and handlines minus the fellow mentioned before... my boss told him no... we're there the end of the month!! :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
