Interesting comments by "northseawannabe-not". Rumour has it that some of the SAR Commanders for Bond's "Jigsaw" operation have tended their resignations as they aren't happy with the way the operation is being run by the management. However, some of them may have withdrawn them as there was evidently a change to their "terms and conditions"!
One wonders why experienced pilots such as these are wanting to leave this operation which has only really just started, especially if (as rumoured) they haven't got another job to go to?
