They won't pay any attention to those arguments if someone gets it in their head that money can be saved and CV enhanced by chopping an ASU.
I fear that supposition is somewhat false in the context of NPAS,
and that the original aims to provide " .... a more efficient service at a reduced cost....."
no longer apply, because neither aim will be met !
It think it will be VERY
interesting to find out, once everyone has joined NPAS,
by way of Freedom of Interest Requests, just how much each force is paying for NPAS,
and for how many hours cover, and compare this with what was being paid and the hours flown pre-NPAS
Apart from the financial aspects, and despite asking, there don't seem to be many,
if any examples of a more efficient service under NPAS either ( yet ? )
