'Grandfather Rites'
Oops.
I see that the pilot is for Lippitts Hill [as well as other SE locations]
I gather there's quite a shortage of pilots in the SE. I gather one pilot was given a £17,000 relocation package to move from the Midlands to Bristol.
I wonder what package may be offered to existing pilots to move to the SE; if they can't recruit internally, will they select people just to fill spaces and not necessarily who would in the past have been the 'best' person for the job; is there a weighting allowance in the shadows somewhere out of the public eye?
I see that NPAS has entered the "Comp A" business, flying a family from ooop north to darn sarff to visit a relative after an accident. Good
PR, but hardly within the remit of Air Support.
