The beginning started 15 years ago. Pooling happened in SAN in 2013 with numerous markets following suit over the years. The larger markets were able to hold out but not any longer. Drones will rule.. |

Really, think about it. It’s all about sensationalism. Who needs helicopter news? |

It may all be in perspective, but since when does that become a factor in the go-no go decision? We’ve all had that shift change call just because some hospital wanted to dump a patient. Yeah, it’s frustrating but that’s part of the job. |

My town has gone from 4 to 1 over the years, and that one has cut down on flying. DOT has cameras everywhere, there really isn't much of a need. The cameras can see accidents and slow downs almost as well as an airborne platform. |
