Certainly there is a confluence of his 2 professional roles and the misery that is hitting Australaisia at the moment. Although fairly junior as a SAR pilot, he can speak with confidence and knowledge of rescuing people in sticky situations (certainly better qualified than any politician I can think of). Certainly his currency valuation would continue to rise if he was able to 'take part' in a mission. But this could also be a bit of a strat comms 'own goal' if it was seen by the meedja as a bit of a publicity stunt, quite apart from the sheer practicalities of making it happen.
