Interesting stuff. I guess its time for someone at the Airwing to make comment. I have 6000 hrs of which 4000 are on medium sized ME. 20 years of professional helo experience of which the last 15 years has been spent at the Airwing involved directly with Victorian EMS. I have over 700 documented retrievals of patients mostly being primary jobs in all kinds of weather, day & night. I have 14 IFR renewals. I have an ATPL(H) and a BSc. I have no incidents or accidents and I am highly commended by the management of Air Ambulance Victoria. I applied for Bendigo.....didn't even get an interview! Go figure!
