The original plan was to have Heli Ops provide 2 pilot and 1 technical crew instructor all ex RN. Started that way . Covid hit . Heli Ops pulled the plug on the contract.I thing the guy you have in mind was in BRS lived in Ireland and looked to jump in a direct entry Commander. Union got involved. It doesn’t happen and back to BRS he went.Now leading the charge on the BIL transition in Ireland and all things SAR . He was with Heli ops during the S92 transition back in the day. They then looked in house and got one ex RN ( English)and one ex AAC (Scottish)with NVIS experience . No nationals involved!. Both went to CAE for reval . Not saying it was the most efficient way as per the Comtroller General report. No nationals involved Crab the way you and Jimbo spell in out.. Just CHC employees from other countries .
