jobstoday.co. uk today " T - ■ ■ : ■ a he Captain Neil Airey, North West Air Ambulance What qualifications do you need?
Back in 1978 when I joined the RAF, I had nine 0 Levels and three A levels and I had to pass an aptitude test along with a series of leadership skills testing followed by an interview panel. I passed and was selected for RAF pilot training. Ultimately, I needed my pilots wings qualification to convert to a civil pilot’s licence to fly for the air ambulance on leaving the RAF. Also, the type of flying I was engaged with in the RAF was relevant to the type of flying needed for the job.
Any other requirements for example health and fitness or age?
I had to be young and fit and mentally capable of learning, retaining and applying information at a vast rate.
How long does it take to qualify for the role?
It took me two and a half years to qualify as an RAF pilot but the leaming/development process never stops. You are always jumping through hoops and progressing onto the next level. I did throughout my entire 2 0 years in the RAF.
What sort of starting salary and package can you expect? Money wise, I earn a modest salary but I could double what I earn by going into commercial offshore helicopter flying. I’ve been flying for the North West Air Ambulance (NWAA) for nine years now and I’m only just reaching my salary scale of 15 years ago when I was in the RAF as a Squadron Leader. The money is not the reason why you become an air ambulance helicopter pilot.
What kind of job satisfaction can you expect from a career? The job is fantastic but has its harrowing moments. You have to learn to cope/deal with the distress, blood and guts. When serious accidents happen - seconds count. The rapid response of the NWAA teams can mean the difference between life and death, whether we’re responding to a job high on the fells or a pile-up on the motorway.
In 50 words sell your profession? At the end of the day, doing good or at least giving unfortunate folks the best chance they have is very rewarding in itself. I’ve had people come up to me six months later and shake my hand and say ‘thank you for saving my legs’ . I reply ‘you’re welcome’ but what a feeling that is, pricelessi
