If you are doing it occasionally(once every couple of weeks)thats ok, but if your leaving school every couple of days for jobs then it has to be affecting your schooling. It also may depend on if you have a good understanding with your teachers that enables you are able to catch up 1 on 1 or with homework.

The only other passenger orientated airports around the state are Mt Gambier, Pt Lincoln & Whyalla.  Which are all covered by MFS who have the RCR capabilities to handle an aircraft rescue.

I would have thought Roxby Downs has a fair bit of air traffic going through it too.....

Just brining up a dead thread, you would be right pip, Olympic Dam has 4-5 Rex flights a day, with just about all planes full of passengers, plus a heap of private planes coming in & out daily.
Everyone seems to be worried about rescue gear, if a plane hits the deck that hard that things in or on the plane needs to be cut, spread or similar, id be wanting to have the foam capability on the truck to cover the plane and the surrounding area before wanting to go anywhere near that plane. Its fine if your talking 5-6 seater Cessna's like at parafield, but a Rex plane will need more foam than most CFS trucks carry.

ESO at Olympic Dam, cant leave work for a cfs call, but if its major we usually get a run from work anyway.

98k, what a joke, i would want a hell of a lot more for getting shot at or blown up. There are ESO jobs around that pay that much.

Its the poor soul who unzips your suit who will cop it. Ha Ha

If the second appliance is less than ten minutes away, i would send a crew in.

I dont think thats the case at all..  (RE: Comms in the city).. If this used to happen, and no longer does, maybe try find out why.. I don't believe it would be souly due to the fact that the COMCEN was moved to town.

I was just giving my view to what may have happened and a possible reason for it. If you are really that concerned about it ring SAAS comms yourself and ask them why its happening.

Thats a big impact for a low speed corner and its a strong old bridge. Typical, p plater

Well the thing is you see, Christies MFS dont get paged by MFS they get MDT messages...

Really, i thought they got called out by carrier pigeon.

Your right, but you can feel the air coming from the engine compartment through a 10cm x 10cm hole im not sure it should be happening. It would have been a engine of the same age just rebuilt.

Looks like morphies are getting all the good jobs...

Its hardly a good job !!!

You know i like a joke but thats a bit rough, you cant pick sarcasm unless you can see or hear the person.
Dont get me wrong we all like a good fire but not when a persons life is a stake.

Like i said previously, SAAS can only go on the information that they are given on the phone and in life threatening cases the SAAS comms person maybe giving treatment advise to the caller over the phone.

When a ambo arrives there first priority is (as every one that has done a first aid course should know) is DRABC, if there is no danger they will attend the patient and do there primary survey then call for any assistance required, if there is danger they will call for CFS/MFS. A stable patient is not going to be affected by 10min delay in rescue response. Only when the patient is time critical is it vital to have rescue responded ASAP. There priority is the patient.

I'm also sure that if every 000 call was made by some one in some form of emergency service then no details would be missed, but there not some people get so paniced by the situation that they can barley talk.
