i have to disagree there crab.
i have experience of millitary and civ engineering, fixed and rotary, line and base, SAR and commercial. The mind set is the same whatever you are doing, its merely the goals that change. we have to have the same flexibility and ability to think on our feet to run a commercial line or SAR. its just a question of what you as an individual and as a team are willing to do to get the job done. outcome of SAR may be more important, but getting aircraft and passengers away is still a job that needs to be done, or the job no longer exists!
