Heliport - I would pay them more because they don't get an awful lot for what they do anyway so taking on extra responsibilities should be rewarded with extra dosh (or is that an old fashioned concept).
AoG - don't forget to fit floats so they can do over water stuff as well and give them powers of arrest like a copper - then you have the ultimate multiskilled airborne asset. I hope you have phoned the Home Office to let thme know you have sorted their problems out. Now, about world peace...........

Empire building amongst ambitious doctors and pilots.....surely not. Anyway if they get too big the MCA will want to take them over
