Sea King Driver - completely with you on this one
Despite what baldeep says, the transition website
is allowing mil guys and gals to make their application
now without the need for a kneejerk PVR and for Bristow and the MoD to agree who transfers and when.
As to TUPE - the various websites (including ACAS) highlight that TUPE applies when there is a transfer of services or contract from one employer to another. The MoD is the major service provider of UKSAR and that service is being taken over by Bristow on behalf of the DfT and MCA. Since the transfer of services is effectively from one govt dept to another, who is to say that TUPE doesn't apply?
