Most SAR crews will be ex mil. Still at some point, with SAR being more and more civilian operated, the military will not be training as many SAR pilots anymore, so how will people get to be SAR pilots in the future?
Not true, many current Bristow SAR crews including those that TUPEd to CHC are Bristow trained. We are quite capable of training our own crews, although with the sudden expansion coming up this will obviously need to be supplemented by mil crews, but that is a one-off event.
