I did realise there's a history but, whatever is in the past is best left there, not dragged up again when it might spoil a good discussion. Two of those you mention haven't even contributed to this thread. The other has, as you pointed out, answered in a friendly and reasonable way - despite your two shots.
Back to the topic:
You've raised some interesting points.
If you don't think a 'normal Plod' should decide when to 'scramble', who should decide?
If it was a combined Police/Ambulance air support unit, who would you have deciding which of two competing calls should get priority?
Or would the ambulance call always ge given priority, regardless of the circumstances?
