So a potential manning problem then for the SAR-H IPT:
Contractor with Civ reg SAR; Mil pilots not licenced to fly them. In any case large discrepancy mil/civ 'offshore' salaries (thanks BALPA!). Also no such thing as a mil 'co-pilot' salary wise!
COMR SAR; Potential big pay cut for the civ pilots, to get an 'even playing field' salary-wise mil/civ. Then no maintainance of their civ licences, (so problems if they want to leave!) ...and still the mil 'co-pilot' salary discrepancy thing to sort out. Not to mention pay for training quals!
