You say no one is listening and yet I've got a bite from you each time
no, you have got a reply each time. I have argued the issues that concern me about privatisation until I am blue in the face - that cost me the opportunity to work from within as dissent is clearly not fashionable.
I have moved on and the new SAR service will be what it will be - some good bits and some not so good bits I suspect - I do at least have faith that a lot of good quality operators are moving across, although they will just have to do as they are told in the brave new world.
The challenges facing the new service are far greater and more complex than what was required on the S61 contracts with no NVD capability and a limited overland night capability as a result. Can they meet the challenges? Yes but not by limiting the training hours and paying the rearcrew peanuts.
I suspect I am who you think I am.
