As to NS flying being undemanding, it is generally routine, I'll grant you. But a pilot's attributes and relevant skill set are nevertheless important, for example an ability to get on with your colleague who has to sit next to you for maybe 8 hours is more important than the ability to fly an ILS in a gale AP out with one hand, whilst using the other hand to measure your fellow pilot's attributes with callipers. So, if you interview anything like you post on here, you would have no hope of getting such a job. You just don't have the skills.
Whereas on a SAR flight you have to be able to enjoy your full crew's company for a 24-hour shift in close proximity as well as flying for hours day and night with them and persuading them that you have the skills to put their lives at risk in order to save the lives of others.
You won't have had to put brave and highly skilled friends over the side of your helicopter on a very thin piece of wire in horrendous weather to do their job whilst they are relying 100% on your 'redundant' flying skills to keep them from smashing into rocks/boats/cliffs/mountains. Oh and that might include flying a manual ILS to get back to the hospital
If you want to lecture someone about CRM I think SAR crews probably have forgotten more about it than you have ever experienced
Rotrbee - torquestripe was highlighting that he avoided the mil because he wanted to fly straight away rather than spending years on the ground first, but that is exactly what the mil do, less than a year of basic training and then straight into a cockpit.
