HAL9000 - wait and see what happens when I ask again why TUPE hasn't been applied to the military SAR people in what is, to all intents and purposes, a transfer of a service from one provider to another - exactly as catered for in TUPE legislation
The military are not exempt from TUPE despite what some believe - it is the service provision that is covered by the legislation and that has simply been moved from MoD to DfT - ie one government department to another - discuss.
Yes I know Bristow couldn't afford the ex-mil pensions.....
For the uninitiated, an ad hom stands for ad hominem (literally to the person) where you attack the person making the argument in the hope that by discrediting them you also discredit their logic - never happens on here.......
