Some info' that may help.
1) Gov't SAR/EMS in Australia
2) Day 20min / Night 30min
3) 4 line pilots (plus 1 management pilot for leave / sickness coverage)
4) SPIFR (we carry Aircrewmen & Rescue Crewmen)
5) 2 days 08:00 to 18:00 / 2 nights 18:00 to 08:00 thn 4 off.
6) 15
7) 180
8) All shifts on-site (night is logged as "standby at work" until the bell goes)
Response times as above, however we are encouraged to take the required time to properly & carefully plan, particularly at night after waking up. (re: sleep inertia!) Not to say we can "take our time" unnecessarily of course, but if it takes 40 min to safely plan a difficult task, then so be it.
Yes I know how good we've got it.
