Devon Air Ambulance Ad?

Hi everyone,

I am curious as to why the DAA want a pilot to be located to be able to work at both Eaglescott and Exeter to cover both bases? Yes, I understand this for operational reasons such as sickness cover, infrequently, etc etc, but this is permanently rostered between both bases, making a long journey(especially on Devons small narrow roads) to either base, or a long journey at one but shorter to the the other, either way not a good selling point? Is it due to not staffing properly at a particular base to save money? Why not staff the bases properly? Looking at the charities financials they can certainly afford too?
B.
