The problem I see with it.
The helicopters cost more than the ol girls we are using now.
The computer programmers get paid more than pilots.
The customer doesn't have enough money for everything that they want now, how will they find more money to do the same job. It's all well and good, saying we can fly 24 hrs / day instead of 8 or 12 or whatever they limit pilots to in different areas so we need less machines, coz we can use them all night and day.
But when there are two different fires miles apart they still need more machines than they can get their hands on, so they will still call us out.
Luckily I fly because I enjoy my job, not because I have to, and fires aren't a big part of it, so when I can't do fires I'll keep doing something else.
