This is in response to an industry wide initiative to curb the practice of helicopter shopping.
-The FAA defines helicopter shopping as “the practice of calling, in sequence, various operators until an operator agrees to take a flight assignment, without sharing with subsequent operators the reasons the flight was declined by previously called operators.”
