Spanish - that's not how it was sold to us - I thought it was supposed to be a method of de-risking the project for the DfT by taking on current UK SAR crews with all the requisite skills and experience except time on type.
Not true, as proven by the number of people from Shawbury
inter alia present at the Valley roadshow.
access to the roadshows was tightly controlled
Only in terms of anything commercial in confidence - some of those at the Valley roadshow had, shall we say, tenuous links to SAR! How much chance they stand is anyone's guess but there's nothing to stop them applying.
in the short term you need to transfer the existing experience
I hope for your sake that your assumption turns out to be right!
I guess that is what the Bristow selection will be based on
Err, that will be one of the considerations, but only one!
In my opinion Managed Transition was primarily devised as a tool for MOD manning to maintain SAR cover during the handover phase
Well of course it was - why else would they bother?!
