Nightwatchman..
Why do you hate Bond so much? When did you work there, we might have worked together. You can't be so against them and not have worked for them surely??
And NO I'm not suggesting air paramedics have all the airmanship compared to experienced winchmen, stop twisting my words. I said I would rather winch down an air paramedic with SOME airmanship than a firefighter with absolutely none. When I worked for Bond the air paramedics did all our medical courses and were nothing but highly skilled and professional along with the paramedics I work with here currently in Oz who ARE the winchmen on our SAR helos. To carry on about them as 'Nurse Gladys making tea' is uninformed and insulting. What decade do you think we are in anyway?
I hope we can wait and see what happens with recruiting first before we all damn the company and knock them for people they've hired or didn't hire before they've actually done it!!
