Sirsoky - it is quite clear you don't know much about helicopter rescues, winchmen or paramedics.
Looking at CG SAR in the UK shows a regime being run for profit not capability, hence the 'innovative' idea to cut costs by creating winchmen on the cheap.
Both the remaining bidders know that there will be a shortage of rearcrew post 2012 and that they will have to pay decent wages to get the military guys to jump ship. One of the bidders seems to accept this is a price worth paying, the other is trying to create winchmen through a different route, ie taking paramedics and giving them a quick course on helicopters.
Talk to any SAR crew and see if they think this is a good idea - they won't for all the reasons lost horizon states.
My mention of R22 pilots with CPLs is to try and highlight the futility of trying to short-cut experience and training.
Vie - sadly it is exactly what we can expect because it is already being done by the present contractors.
