I have read, with total open mindedness, your posts on this and other threads. Indeed, on other posts, I have often been an advocate of yours.
However, why wont you simply admit that you intended to 'Lure' ill felt debate on the issue of training Paramedics as rear crew in order to bolster your perpetual slander of the developments of SAR-H, and all who sail in her!
You are manipulating this thread for your ill felt gains and I for one wish you would have the kahoonahs to admit it.
Regarding the issue of training street Paramedics to become aircrew. I am a total supporter of it. The 'black art' of becoming rearcrew is one that can most definitely be learnt by off the street, suitably qualified civilians who, with careful recruitment, structured training and development could positively enhance the rank and file of the rearcrew world
