There are a number of issues here, and 75k will not solve all of them. It would be nice but the chances of it happening......
If it is a time through trg problem, why not employ a paramedic within the crew? Remove the excessive trg burden and employ the rearcrew for flying and a medic for the blood and guts?
My understanding is that the SAR Force is in existance to support mil ops; therefore, anything else is a bonus. So, the unfortunate who is stuck on a cliff or in a gail force storm etc, get what they are given, and if it is a scoop and run sortie, so be it.
Going back to the 75k, if the NCA within the SAR Force are not happy with their lot, maybe they could return to the CHK, ME or the Pu. Then a whole 10 shifts per month wont be so bad!!!!!!!
