I used to volunteer as a first aider and ambulance driver.
They paid for my training, for my uniform and my equipment. I put in my time and put up with being vomited and bled on because I was helping people.
Yes I could pay out of my own pocket for a CRI or CPL TK or FI course. I have the time and willingness to help. But I can not afford nor justify paying to do something that’s “voluntary”.
yes I’m privileged to fly, and yes I know people going career scrimp and save - was just saying it’s a shame to inhibit the (small) number of us that could help.
