These new positions will be offerred to the existing pilots working for CHC and not to new comers. This is how it always works and if they change this system, they will face a backlash from within their own ranks.
If the public of NSW choose to get behind Westpac and Careflight, they can continue to work and with the support of the health department, they will continue to be used in preference to CHC who will be sitting around waiting for a call.
This will be a lot fun!!!
