You presented your "opinion" as fact. Some people may well have believed you. Have you read the definition of 'sciolist' at the bottom of this page?
Unless the aircraft or a crewmember goes u/s half way through, nobody is going to hand over a job to one of their colleagues/competitors/rivals (however they may see other SAR bases) before they've seen the job through to its conclusion. It just doesn't happen. That's why so many people see through your argument. Jigsaw have done plenty of jobs where the casualty has come back onshore, thus reducing cover in the North Sea. So back to the original question, why not on this occasion?
