OK, in turn then:
What kit do you not have which you should have and did have as an RAF SAR service?
How are you poorly manned?
Why is the 189 a poor ac?
What infrastructure do you not have which you had as RAF SAR?
Name some of the luxury vs necessities you are losing out on in this transition?
Some selective examples there of things which went up in price me thinks, they were run at a huge loss and the government/ taxpayer doesn't want to subsidise them anymore.
Do you have a private pension? If not now you will do soon. Profit is what funds pensions. If you don't like capitalism, I'm sure UT Air are recruiting in Moscow.
