Aren't Coulson trying to muscle in on that market as well ?.
Helijet were one of the launch customers for S92 any news when it will be in service ?

Helijet was never a launch customer for the 92, they'd have liked to have been, but they just don't have the cash. Their original 61 (Shortsky), showed up just after I left in early '99, but didn't stay with them long. I understand they are looking to get back into the large aircraft market though. And if I'm not mistaken, they'll be using this 61 for the Whistler run. That should prove interesting.

I'm still thinking, though, Sikorsky will find a way to place a 92 with Helijet, they're just too high profile for Sikorsky to let it slide.

My two cents.

Is helijet a good place to go for a start in r/w IFR for a canadian?

What other options are in canada for a fresh instrument rating?
