UK SAR 2013 privatisation: the new thread
TC - the closing date for managed transition applications is 31 May - then Bristow HR have to do a load of sifting and decide who gets an interview. Those are expected in June/July with any job offers in late Autumn.
So the short answer is - no.
The only option for us in the mil is to trust Bristow and RAF/RN manning to get on with their plan - I believe there is a steering group to progress things in an orderly fashion but us coal face workers won't know anything until we are told.
As you can imagine, the managed transition is THE topic of conversation in crewrooms at the moment with all sorts of random (and usually uninformed) opinions being thrown in both from those in the mil and those without.

Financial Redundancy Incentive for mil rearcrew
Apparently not enough experienced mil rearcrew applied for the Managed Path so the RAF is going to offer a tax-free golden goodbye of £50k to encourage SAR rearcrew to leave the military and join Bristow. This new scheme will be known as a Financial Redundancy Incentive and will benefit both the RAF, by getting rid of unnecessary NCA, and Bristow, who will now have a bigger cadre of experienced rearcrew to man their bases. The individuals will also be much better off!

Good luck to those who have applied. I have applied, but so have another 6 people from the camp I am stationed, all for captains roles, and the majority with the same preference of location. I am not currently on a SAR base ; so add those to the current SAR guys applications and all the other ex SAR personnel that have probably been waiting for this for the last 10 years and Bristow have a very large pool of prospective employees to cherry pick from! Keeping everything crossed! Once again, good luck everyone!

Slide 25 shows training aircraft and operationl aircraft delivery timings. 189 for training arrives first (Q1 FY 15) followed by 92 for training (Q2 FY 15). Things starting to take shape.

And it's worth noting that the FY dates are based on year ending 31st March, so Q1 FY 15 is actually the second quarter of calendar year 2014. This is not really news but exactly what one would expect.

That may explain why I was a bit confused. The Bristow docs dates all seemed a bit late, but the FY bit explains why they seem later than the dates specified by DFT.
If we are lucky, Tallsar might come and give us the benefit of his knowledge of this matter now that he is no longer constrained by the dark forces.
