Tipstrike: If you're ever in need of a job change, give us a call will you...you sound too good to be true
I believe (ready to be corrected) DA in Yorkshire, an ex PAS pilot now boss of his own company (still in the same industry), is the longest serving 'police pilot' [14+ years, is it DA??].
SFIM: We would look at a pure civvy and/or offshore pilot (we had one for a while!) provided they fitted the criteria Tipstrike listed! We do police/day HEMS/night casevac 24/7.
It's got to be said, the ems bits are the most exciting/challenging, but the police stuff has its moments.
If you are serious about doing this line of work SFIM, next time there is a vacancy -go visit, get to meet the crew (and I mean crew, not just the pilots), tell them you really want the job...it means much more than another Cv on the CP's desk
Good luck to you.........
