A charity with no affiliation to any ambulance service, who have often given false ETA’s in order to get tasked ahead of closer HEMS units (duty of care and casualty well being being placed first?), who have argued with ambulance crews at the scene in order to avoid transporting a casualty as they didn’t have enough fuel due to carrying too many clinicians more than required, who have no actual remit or area of responsibility so just grab anything from Hull to the M25, somehow have managed to fund a new AW169!!! How will that provide any more care to a casualty?
And all flown by the worst paid pilots in the country. A friend of mine was asked by the airframe provider to relocate his family to near Wyton, take a pay cut to £33k gross, for a position initially as technical crewmember in the left seat of an MD902 so he couldn’t even log any hours. Simply mind blowing.
