While not wanting to sound laissez-faire, EMS pilots refusing to soldier because of the COVID-19 risks is not really cricket is it! Flying an EMS helicopter is a great privilege, not at all, like hard work and for the most part, regarded as a glamorous job by the great unwashed. Now the great unwashed really do need our help. Abandoning them cos it just got a little bit unpleasant is distasteful in my view., You take the rough with the smooth. The courage and determination of the hospital staff should be an example to us all to keep going as long as there is fuel in the tanks and a valid CofA. Its easy to hide behind risk assessments, management policies etc but we are all born with a backbone (most of us anyway). Now is the time to exercise it a bit! Blubbing like a big jessie cos there's a nasty bug going around. D&C should be ashamed.
