Well I think the civil winchman was selected for Sumburgh base. I know off 2 Ex aircrewmen (1 RAF 1 Army) both paramedic register who applied to chc online and phone Aberdeen H.R. I did even get a polite Fook off.
The senior crewman is a weird one and arrogant anyway.
I would say that its being driven as a cheap way to get paramedics to fill slots the cheap way.
Best off luck to them anyway.
