I know that the Mil guys cannot strike, therefore we should not have a problem maintaining SAR cover in UK (assuming the aircraft and crews are available). What would happen if an operation was conducted mainly by a civilian operator, would the government/ company be held to ransom by the threat of industrial action? or am I looking on the dark side of things.
Before you bite guys, this is not a repeat of the Mil versus Civy slanging match.
Heads down, look out for the flack.
