Correct me if I'm wrong (and no doubt someone will), but, wasn't the aim of Jigsaw to use Helicopters to supplement/replace some of the standby vessels that BP use around their platforms? These helicopters to be available should some poor soul fall overboard from a platform or an emergency abandonment be required. I don't recall (again maybe I missed something) that they were ever intended to replace/supplement the military or coastguard rescue crews in any way.
If this is the case, then, while the crews will obviously require some very comprehensive SAR training, it will not need to be quite so extensive as that given to coastguard or military SAR crews.
