Well whatever happens and however it is done .... the empire that will be built and then controlled by ??? will be only second to Nat. Safety Council Air Wing (remember them) in complexity .... already some of the proposed decisions look dodgy!
Crewies as co-pilots on that class of machine is a silly concept. If you want a professional operation you use TRAINED and PROFICIANT pilots to drive and TRAINED and PROFICIANT crewies to do the lookout, paramedic stuff and winch operating.
Good luck Queensland...
