Cheers Zorab for explaining to the uninitiated what the set up is.
I never agreed with the roster the bobbies had to put up with. It's inhuman!!!!
As for the NPAS pilots roster in my humble opinion it's an accident waiting to happen. Glad to see a lot of pilots getting out of NPAS, one of the main reasons being the fatiguing roster.
As for saving money you get two line pilots for one HQ body. They have loads of HQ bodies......
Oh and as for really saving money in Police aviation there are no brackets big enough....
Please fly safe everyone in NPASland.
