The White Paper says the national approach would enable the size of the active aircraft fleet to be reduced from 33 aircraft to around 26, saving nearly £18m per year in running costs and over £5m per year in capital costs and at the same time provide better overall air support coverage in England and Wales.
If we go the way of the white paper, Seven current aircraft and how many crews will go? If anyone on here is one of the ones to go, would you then wish we had cheaper aircraft and could have kept your job?
I still can't get my head around ASU's being classed as public transport. Just who are the fare paying pax?
If they could change that bit a whole new rule book could be written and cheaper, wider coverage would be the result, in my opinion.
