Let me repeat yet again for those hard of hearing:
Ok, seeing as you clearly think I am thick!!

SARF initiates that persons Managed Transition to coincide with Bristows planned start date and the mil persons PVR notice (so that the SAR service's integrity is not breached).
That is the bit that I am asking about. How does that work? How many personnel can the SARF afford to lose without breaching the integrity of the service. At what point are the SARF going to be able to release people?

Edited to add:

New SAR base stands up with an internal company transition SAR crew who cover for that individual while he/she gets trained up (7-9 months and 250-280hrs on type).
Seeing as the timeline for overall transition is quite tight, will this not end up with 'transition' crews at several bases simultaneously? Is that not a long time for a transition crew? What are all these people going to do when the transition is over?
