... bobbies regularly say they have stopped bothering to ask for a helicopter
because it takes an hour to turn up. They have lost confidence in the service.
Predicted ( and feared ) by many before they were forced into NPAS.
Those at NPAS will look at the reduction in hours flown and say,
"Look how much we have saved"
'Yes we can, but it will take us 50 minutes to get there"
Is there a cut off time for when the 20 minute circles no longer apply ?
How long then before someone in NPAS says to their lawyer -
I earn £46000 as a line pilot for "X" and the same job next door earns: £85000?
It'll be about 3 and half months ( to 1st October ) won't it ?
