Yes, a true classic by DM.A classic by the DM. It asks the question in the headline and we get the answer in the last line of a lengthy article
Has he? It was the press and not the so-called experts who came up with that stupid work-shy thing. The experts have actually defended him live on UK television.William has been criticised for being 'work-shy' in past few months
Well, I obviously missed something. I don't remember BP, KP or EAAA stating that William would be flying with his RPO and since he obviously is, it changes the whole situation. Perhaps William donating his salary to EAAA covers the extra seat used when he's flying.
Okay, I am just being facetious but the whole idea of Williams flying takes on a whole new look. Does EAAA allow their helicopters to routinely fly into dangerous situations other than weather and conditions? Do the RPG expect assassins to be hiding behind rocks or up trees in the wop-wops waiting for a rescue chopper on the off-chance that William would be on the crew?
What a waste.

What a waste.
A spokesman for East Anglian Air Ambulance said it was ‘absolutely not’ true that a paramedic would have been sacrificed to make space for the Prince’s protection officer.
I neither like nor dislike William. I like that he's a hands-on dad and loathe the way he pouts at the press. Both feelings are valid and have nothing whatsoever to do with the matter under discussion, namely Willam flying with an RPOmembers here who don't like William will wrongly say, it's a waste
I must say I am saddened to see the usual old "shoot the messenger" replies. I neither like nor dislike William. I like that he's a hands-on dad and loathe the way he pouts at the press. Both feelings are valid and have nothing whatsoever to do with the matter under discussion, namely Willam flying with an RPO
I find it amazing that it has never been announced that he would be flying with an RPO, a situation that I find more than a little puzzling. To throw Harry's situation flying in the theatre of war into the discussion to muddy the waters is pointless as battlefield situations and civilian rescue flying in the UK are hardly the same thing.
As to the rights and wrongs of the situation, I am sure more information will become known to enable people to assess and either validate or negate their position on this matter. Not everyone is hating on William, nor are they fawning on him either!
Alhough I don't agree on manay things and choices regarding William, I don't see the issue of security personel with him. I don't know what the big deal is...
See, it's not tru that posters writing negative stuff on William always criticize him, no matter what. Just saying
I don't know what the big deal is either. And I fully respect that you and others don't agree with many things and choices regarding William, but there are posters here who never have something positive to say about William and it's likely that they will criticize this as well.

He introduced himself as 'Prince William' and seemed 'very calm' The future King apologised for disrupting the children's sports day
A children's sports day was interrupted when an air ambulance made an emergency landing on the school's field - which was being flown by Prince William.
The future King, 33, landed the yellow vehicle 'safely' and quickly disembarked to explain to teachers why he used their field as a place to land.
He was very 'apologetic' for disrupting the children's sports day at the Kingsfleet Primary School in Felixstowe, Suffolk, and even said to one teacher: 'Hello, I'm Prince William' before waving to the crowd.
The Duke of Cambridge received the call to fly the helicopter from Cambridge after a woman in her 70s sustained 'badly broken bones' after falling from her loft near the primary school.
She was moved from an ambulance to the Anglia Two helicopter after it left Cambridge yesterday afternoon.
Pupils in years three to six at the school had just finished the last event when the helicopter was spotted in the sky.
They had 'no idea' that it was going to land and the medal presentation - which had been scheduled to take place outside - was then carried out inside the school.
Rebecca McCarthy, the school's deputy headteacher, said the future King landed on the field and was very 'apologetic' for interrupting the sports day.
She told MailOnline: 'There was a call put into the ambulance service from someone who lives nearby when we were coming to the end of our sports day.
'The children became excited because there was this huge yellow helicopter flying over the sports

The East Anglian Air Ambulance, which the Duke of Cambridge flies for, was called to the scene on the junction of Maldon Road and Post Office Road, near Danbury in Woodham Mortimer, on Tuesday evening (August 30).
As we read about Harry's full involvement with conservation and preservation of animals in Africa and how he's devoting 150% of his energy to it, I think I would also go as far as to put this same meaning into the work that William is doing with his job with EAAA. It is definitely not fun and games and "playing pilot" and takes an extreme amount of mental focus and the ability to make split second decisions that can mean the difference between life and death. Its also an area where professionals witness and see things that they really wish they didn't have to see and need to push it to the back of the mind and focus on the task at hand and get the job done. This is why debriefing after something serious has happened is all important.
There's not many in this world that would take on this profession willingly and I really do admire William for wanting to devote his time and energy in service to his country and its people this way.
