I agree with FFF, for a change. I like the idea of a national umbrella for Air Support. I for one would prefer we had a national police force and not individual fiefdoms.
I do believe the original announcement on NPAS was the equivalent of a thrown hand grenade. To not expect the people at risk to
worry, snipe and moan is daft. Just pleased there is a forum where we can let it all go!
pilots would have to apply for a position in NPAS, and it would be open to anyone with suitable experience
This doesn't appear to be an assumption, but to be a lack of knowledge of the employment law. It is also inflammatory, almost to the point where someone may assume it was deliberately designed to fan the flames. Why would you announce that before doing your homework?
