Just a slightly different angle on this thread regarding SAR commanders experience, as Bond proved in the Emerald isles, they did not know what SAR stood for, or what was involved, only some very experianced crews ( already running the show before Bond took over)managed to keep the show going.
Why should you hire experianced people who will keep reminding you,that you are not doing the job properly?, after all, if the commander returns from failing to do a rescue , quoting " the job was too difficult " who will question his decision? life will carry on, and they will keep the contract.
Its a pity to see they will do it all again, i just hope no one gets hurt.
