This just plum died.

Pple, operating costs can be estimated very accurately. Vehicles and equipment are known costs. Labor, fuel, and supplies can be calculated very close.

Pimple is only trying to keep the contract with Sullivan. Pimple is likely a family member of Sullivan's.

I don't know where pp's coming from there is such a thing as keeping accounts.

Let's say you figure out how much is coming in that tells you nothing without knowing how much is going out? If your just going to guess at expenses why not just guess at money coming in?

Piss ant your continued argument about electing Republican's in a county with more republicans and independents then democrats can count will continue so get over that one.

I'm not trying to change the subject as a matter of fact you did that.

Piss ant I could care less who flew who or who bought what at the landing strip and btw there is no landing for take off fee at the landing strip. Its a cash cow of spending the county has had since 2009 and it benefits none of us.

1. You're assuming what airports they fly out of

2. Their not taking fuel or properly maintaining their plane has nothing to do with the airport, you dumb cuck.

3. If you actually had a clue, most small plane crashes are due to pilot error, such as them trying to fly in weather they aren't qualified for. But I've never seen you informed. Now quit trying to change the subject, troll

The majority of private planes are from small air ports the majority of privately owned airports are small. The majority of small private plane crashes are due to either running out of fuel or engine failure and usually occur after the plane is between airports.

Hankey, no one said anything about private planes. We were talking private airports. So where are all the crashes and accidents at private airports? Here's a hint, they don't happen because they wouldn't stay in business.

If you would look at the numbers for the Ashe airport, there are not enough planes taking off and landing to rent enough hangers or buy enough fuel to pay for what that has cost.

There are private plan crashes occuring in the USA frequently, you only get to know about the local ones unless there is something unusual about them like landing on a freeway, crashing into house or great loss of life.

You obviously have the resources to get us the figures pimple so just get them and quit the circle jerk show. You are not dealing with armatures on here or dumb democrats like piss ant.

It's so clear that Mr Hankey has never operated a business

So Mr Hankey, where are all these plane crashes then if these private airports are breaking the rules? God, you're stupidity amazes me.

Pple, I didn't say anything about guessing how much profit a company makes. I said with that information, the county could calculate what it would cost to operate a county agency and figure out if it would save money. Personally, I don't think the county would save anything because once a government office is established, there's no reason for it to try to save money

If an ambulance service is run by a local authority it should be solvent if it makes a profit it should be applied to updates in equipment etc. Any private business is primarily concerned with profits and profits inevitably become the main concern, no community should allow that when it comes to health services.

Oh I know a fun game? Let's assume we have all the information and figure out exactly how much profit the EMS makes. How much profit is acceptable and how much before we become outraged and want to overthrow the current guy? What amount is to little?

Wrong again Pinnochio, airports that are under local government have no problems abiding by FAA rules, whereas private airports are prone to look for loopholes in safety rules in order to increase their profits. Why is it that all the major airports in the USA are either owned by and/or strictly overseen by governmental bodies?

If you had the number of calls and the charges, you could compare gross income to estimated start up costs and projected operating expenses for a county run agency and figure out if the total would be more or less than the current system.

Dog I honestly don't have the answers but even if you had the answers what's that gonna tell you? How much money comes in but without knowing what is being paid out you still know nothing. Again if the service is paying less now PER AMBULANCE then they were paying 10 years ago and there are no issues with quality what is to be gained? There are far to many other issues the county needs to be concerned with like the money being spent on parks and airport.
