Bristow have picked up 6 P1 Sar commanders from CHC Ireland. The 6 worked for developing assets on the CHC Ireland transition team. All are ex RN & RAF Sar commanders with civil SAR and IR rating to boot. Bristow will be supplying them with S92 rating and give them the required hours via O&G flying before they go on the UK SAR contract.
CHC Ireland will also have at least 36 S92 qualified pilots by tie end of the year. Some with an eye on possible employment with Bristow.
