CHC have been awarded a sudden contract in the Sudan for four S92s. The contractual requirement is that the captains must have a minimum of 500 hours on type. To meet this requirement CHC is going to have to pull twelve captains off their SAR contract and replace them with newly recruited direct entry captains. You would hear the wailing all around the coast of the UK.
If this happened and its a big if, then CHC have more S92 drivers then just the SAR pilots.
And yes i know its just a senario! But unlike the military we can say NO!
Because we are civvies who didn't sign up for queen and country.
