Ahh- opinions! Shouldn't matter who does it as long as they are properly trained and have sufficient continuation training to remain proficient. The cost of the training does stop lots on the civil side from doing hoist work, not to mention the huge costs of acquireing and maintaining the hoist and associated equipment! It would be hard for a "for profit" organization to justify, but "non-profit" places can sometimes justify the expense even though they may never operationally use the equipment.
I really enjoyed hoisting from the Explorer!
