However UKSAR rear crew pay is unacceptably low, where Irish SAR rear crew are amongst the best paid in the industry yet have less breadth of experience and lower capability when it is broken down to simple terms.
Absolutely right Northernstar.
I said almost exactly that at the beginning when they released their rearcrew pay scales.
Special 25 - if you were quoting for a big 10-year Govt contract, wouldn't you have allowed provision in the costs for inflation and rising wage demands?
Getting towards the end of it and trying to browbeat your staff to give up those nice Ts and Cs is just poor management. I have little sympathy as they have already used the profits from UKSAR to keep the rest of the Bristow Group solvent.
