Who's going to do basic SAR rear crew trg?
Ladies/Gents. I have a question regarding the future MCA SAR contract.
It appears to me that there is going to be a shortage of rear crew available to CHC once they take-over (if the rumours about Bristows cross-overs, etc are true). Therefore, where are CHC going to recruit all their new guys from and who is going to do the basic intro to SAR training? I'm guessing that CHC aren't going to use expensive AW139 and S92 hours for this.
My guess is that there is going to be some work for SARTU.
Also, there a number of potential SAR crewmen out there in the wilderness who want to know how to pre-qualify themselves for future SAR jobs with CHC (or anyone else who might win the UK SAR(H) contract). Does anyone have any info on this?
