Almost no crew going to Cobham from Aerorescue. The AR crew are experienced with the old Surveillance Australia hands now having 10 years of SAR experience plus whatever they had before with Coastwatch. Cobham have only offered jobs to the in-experienced short timers, this way they can stamp their "culture"on to malleable people. So down the back you have low experience aviators, we are talking 100 hrs or so. Up the front you will have Airline Capts who have never flown low level and FOs who have never flown jets. Put this together with an annual flight experience predominantly accumulated in the sim , plus the lack of drop capability, low visibility out of the windows and a far too high search speed, and you have a dud. AMSA are the true culprits here, their ignorance has allowed them to get steamrollered by the big aviation bully.
