Wow, I heard today that Air-Evac is going to absorb the Reach and MedTrans certificates.
Goodbye Reach and goodbye, MedTrans. Looks like they won't need a couple of DO's and chief pilots anymore.

Curious to know if AEL absorbes MTC and Reach that all training will relocate to O'fallon. If so, that's a lot of of wasted money on the new facility in Denton, TX. |

Obviously havent heard any of that here but I'm sure the conversation of merging any combination of the 135 Certs that GMR owns has happened. Most folks involved in the aviation side know that you never give up a clean 135 cert as getting them from the FAA especially now is a long drawn out process. Plus if you have any enforcements that potentially climb to the point of surrendering a certificate then having your assets divided across a few certs keeps damage control to a minimum. I'm sure the bean counters look at the various DO, CP and DOM salaries while its tempting to eliminate an extra 6 or 9 of those I dont think they would pull the trigger. MTC has leadership directly with GMR so before they decided to break ground on a new simulator facility I'm sure someone got the info that they wouldnt just be pulling the plug and if it was going to go the other way they would absorb the others into the MTC cert not the AE. |

I don't think any training facility or building would go away under the merger they would all just carry one name and the pilots would have to be trained and checked on the new certificate not a big deal. The only difference would be everybody would be wearing a Air-Evac Lifeteam flight suit. I heard the same thing about a month ago. He said that's why some of the med trans instructors and check Airman are already working for checked out and giving check rides and training for air Evac cert. There is an incredible amount of man hours and time that goes into maintaining each certificate that could all be consolidated into one. It's not just as simple as saying oh look we have a certificate and it takes care of itself. |

Just to add to your story, about a month ago I was taking my 24 month check airman observation ride with the FAA and the Director of Operations from both Air Evec and MedTrans were there and I overheard conversation between the three of them that they are actively completing the consolidation of the Training Manuals and General Operations Manuals and have almost completed FAA approval. The FAA POI inspector for Air Evec also stated the draft copy is complete for the consolidated OpsSpecs. So Yes it is going to happen. And the three of them didnt act like it was and Top-Secrete info.
Its all nothing to worry about. Its a good smart decision. Having three certs has NO advantage. And it is expensive to maintain.
Heck I remember when Air Evac had 15 aircraft. Now they just opened base number 174. Impressive.

Not even remotely true. They are all part of GMR and operate and will separately. I heard SANTA is bringing AMC and Poor PHI guys a 1% raise. That's all they get |

Liability reasons? That doesn't even make sense. No companies going to act or operate. In such a way that they lose their certificate. It's never happened.
any, and all certificate could crash a few helicopters kill a few people and still keep on Truckin. |
