Ta for that. I have sent all the bumpf off to Lynda, but they tend to use Bond as they provide the aircraft and pilots. I would be happy to step in or help if they can't do the training at short notice, as I have 3 places left for a course starting in April, but I think they have it covered. I know some other charities are paying £31k to their crews with pensions and other bits and bobs. It may be more now, but they were certainly offering a good whack to attract paramedics away from the security of the ambulance service. As you know a charity has to pull the plug if funding drops off and its not easy to go straight back into your old job on the road.
