The difference is that a first tourist winchman or winch op will have completed at least 3 months at SARTU and then another 9 months on the OCU
So one year then - identical to the contract for Winch Ops. All we're arguing about is the winchman. What is his prime skill - burning holes in the sky or paramedic?
Additionally, our percentage of 1st tourists is about 10 per cent.
Yep. That's much the same in civil SAR. Except a "tour" is about 20 years.
