Agency official: Flights are time-sensitive and cannot be guaranteed
Summary
The agency official warned that flight responses are governed by protocols and weather, and that aircraft are often requested by other parties on a time-sensitive basis, so flights cannot be guaranteed for every request.
An agency official warned attendees that flights for the service cannot be guaranteed because of operational protocols and weather. "Now, we can't guarantee the flight," the official said, adding that protocols and weather are factors outside their control.
The official explained that in many cases the aircraft are requested by other entities and that requests can be time sensitive, which may prevent the agency from dispatching aircraft for every call. "Again, there's protocols to this, so I can't control the weather," they said. The transcript does not record a timeline or policy change; it records an operational limitation described by the speaker.
