Ok...Really do you not think I have thought this through? Weather sucks which means there isn't a lot of aircraft traffic. We have 2 on the upper helipads and none on the lower pads. The doors on the upper pads are malfunctioning. We are told by security that they will be shutting of the power to those doors and we need to use the lower pads. Ok no big deal right? Well the winds are high so the pilots prefer the elevated pads for safety. Security says well if they can't land on the lower pads then you might want to think about landing them on the ground. Really? As if in my 10 years as a flight communicator and my 6 years as a dispatch supervisor that I wouldn't have thought of that all by myself. Holy smokes, what do you think they pay us for?
Then we get a call for a rollover with ejection. For non medical folks that means someone was thrown from the vehicle. Rescue proceeds to tell our ambulance they might want to get a helicopter started. A...We already thought of that. B...We have already checked with the pilot. C...there is weather and they can't fly. Again, what do you think they pay us for? We know how to do our jobs but thanks for the information.
End of Rant.
