Decks - that means you get less than half the training that we do and rather confirms my concern. All the auditing and bean counting doesn't look at capability just cost effectiveness so as long as your customer (CG) is happy then so are the bean counters. Who checks your operational effectiveness?
The one good to come of privatisation is serviceable aircraft - our IPT seem proud of a pathetic 12.5% serviceability which just wouldn't be tolerated in industry. They just can't answer the fact that Bristows produce stunning serviceability from S61s that have 3 times the number of hours of our Sea kings!
