Do you think the salary structures support that outcome?

Quality doesn't come cheaply and cutting costs in this area might be a false economy.

Lots of guys have applied and heard absolutely nothing since application. Others I hear have been told services not required. Good question Harry, anyone shed light on this?

The interview/selection process for the military people on managed transition hasn't finished yet so I would think that if you haven't already received a 'no thanks' then you are still in with a shout.

Bristow UK SAR Engagement Event - Inverness

Just out of the Inverness Bristow UK SAR Engagement Event.

Many of my questions were answered, either in the presentations or the discussions that followed. There were a couple of unexpected twists. Ongoing work on technical and regulatory aspects of SAR flying sounds positive and I hope that everyone involved in that gives it their best.

Aircraft role equipment spec is due to move forward even from the where the GAP SAR aircraft is now. This is impressive.

There is little doubt that Bristow have been listening. More channels of communication have been opened today and that can only be good.

They remain exposed on a couple of details but April 2015 is still some way off. A limited amount was said about the risks associated with the 189 certification programme. I expect that prototype format, SAR flying systems and de-icing test time will pile on the pressure but I already know there is a Plan B.

The matter of remote refuelling sites is also still being worked on. Lochaber is a critical location since, being an area of poor aeronautical conditions, no aeronautical infrastructure exists there. However, Highland fuel agents have an outstanding ability to get lots of flammable smelly stuff to strange places, and gas turbines are 'omniverous', so there is plenty of scope for solution.


One of the really positive aspects of today's event is that the Bristow Director and representatives from Weber Shandwick, MCA and DfT all got snowed on. Failte gu Gaidhealtachd!

Does anyone have any updates on the managed transition? Or are we assuming no news is good news?!

Here in Bongo Bongo land it seems the Bristow sifting stops about now and the results are official as of end of this month. Then the Mnagaed Transition/path can commence in anger.........................

TC,


What a shame there were never any of those bunga bunga parties in bongo bongo land...the SAR Force HQ atrium would make a great venue...

The SAR certification aircraft was seen at Yeovil on Wednesday receiving the mods for the EASA/CAA approval trials.

This is going to be a busy little thread this week. But it's just a rumour...,

Good luck all who applied.

I understand that their attention has been diverted by HR issues abroad. There may be a short delay, talk amongst yourselves...,

Cheers Genie. Are you in a position to define 'short delay'?
