UK SAR 2013 privatisation: the new thread
 

Yes, new additions to the Crewman patter....'chicken or beef, chicken or beef!'

Tell him you have questions about the Welsh version of the safety brief for Caernarfon, the Kernow version for Newquay and the Gaelic version for Stornoway. That should keep him out of the way for a bit.

Dear God, please tell me that is a wind up?!?! Have these people really so little understanding of the nature of SAR? Aghast! :ugh:

No it's not. So for those who wish for CAA oversight. Be careful what you wish for

CAA Vs rear crew
 

Snaggle

Sorry no wind up, tis true:{ But if you feel so highly qualified perhaps you and One Square can apply for a position with them and oversee what has been happening quite well for 25+ years. OSM isn't really welcome in the new SAR picture if indeed he is even remotely qualified to apply.:ok:

Nicely put NRDK. The current system works and doesn't require any ex-mil self-serving input!

queueaitcheye, an interesting point. Without us how will you man UK SAR? I try to be inclusive and judge people objectively on their merits. Try it one day. Just for a laugh.

Mil input is fine and most welcome. It is the agenda-pushing that is distasteful.

I have no agenda. I just think it makes sense for SAR helicopter rearcrew to be overseen by someone with experience of that role. If they have no experience they have no credibility, n'est ce que pas?

Snaggle

The reason you are linked with OSM is that you too seem to suggest that civi (mostly ex mil) rearcrew need some form of validation that only you or he (or a trolly dolly from the CAA) can provide.

Just maybe thats the agenda that queueaitcheye is referring to?

I think you and a few others on this thread could do with a dose of your own medicine.

You are needed and will I am sure be welcome if thats where you want your career to go. Just be inclusive of the organisation that you might (MIGHT) be trying to join!

Miles Gustaph, could you offer any further insight into the content of the roadshow for us?

Many thanks :ok:

SKD

Miles,
Somehow your post ended up in the wrong thread. You posted in the grown up, facts only, corporate knowledge based discussion but instead it ended up in the hysterical, wild ignorance based opinion, Daily Mail letters-esque thread.

Nice post though! :ok:

Humour? And a suggestion of facts? That's not allowed, wash your mouth out

As already stated maybe contributors should educate themselves. I added the BRS PowerPoint link and webcast link in the hope that interested would so just that . However it never ceases to amazes me how this thread can turn into pure BS. In some case some of the contributors only prove that they will not or cannot accept civil SAR but will still try and get a job when the the time comes. It's too small a world .

In relation to SAR crew external validation some of their skills sets may be receive external validation and auditing from the NHS / HPC .

This thread would be humorous if it wasn't so full of ill-informed crassness.

Meanttobe, thanks for the links - I wish more had followed them! You're comments about how small a world it is are probably lost on some.......!

212 agree completely its lost on some. But not lost on the people who have being following this and the original SAR H thread over the years . I'd go as far as saying some of the contributors and their comments may have changed the entire rational about filling the bases with personal directly from the Raf and RN.

Quite! There are some individuals who have written themselves (literally) out of the equation. Some have gone very quiet of late.......

Somehow I doubt that Bristow's recruitment strategy will be massively affected by what is posted (anonymously) within this forum. For every dim-witted opinion expressed within these pages there are plenty more that are worthy of merit. Bristow will recruit whom they need to fill seats with enough experience to make it all work. Some of them will be ex-military, some won't.

What, you think the recruitment strategy will be HR based? You honestly think they will recruit 100 pilots for a SAR contract on anything other than a client based requirement? Gap-SAR will be a test, I think, based on other stakeholders demands.....
