Hi jonnyloove
Interesting that you previously gave this advice to a poster looking for how he could get a start as civvie SAR winchman
Hi there
To be honest in the civil world to get one off the few civil aircrew slots you need to be a state registered paramedic.
All little bit at odds with your last post ?
I would say that its being driven as a cheap way to get paramedics to fill slots the cheap way
Surely employing ready trained ex military paramedic qualified winchmen will always be the cheap option compared to giving a course of flying training to a paramedic?
