Thank you for the reply Pitchlink, but I'm afraid that Inflow Roll is correct. His comments on PAS are sadly true. It would appear that PAS does want rid of some Pilots but is hoping that they will quit.
On the subject of "avaiable" on duty rosters it would appear that the CAA is now aware of the blatant disregard of rules and changes will take place shortly.
What is now starting to happen is that previously loyal pilots are starting to tell their police units that direct employment is the way ahead!!!
It would appear that our Canadian cousins think that helicopter pilots are a bit dim. Now hasn't that happened somewhere else before?
