All of the above plus a lack of respect from the business for the value a competent ESO/ERT can actually deliver. Add in the Dunning Kruger effect of many ESO/ERT and the compounded debasing that occurs when operational vs conversational competence conflicts. For a truly high performance skillset in a field this diverse it needs routine high fidelity training, high levels of personal accountability and responsibility and a dedicated work ethic, unfortunately these attributes are exceedingly rare individually let alone as a combo.

Would be great to see a current study building on this to see if there has been any change. I'd assume not drastically, would also be good to see a study aligned with this but focusing on skill competence as I'm pretty sure the results would show similar data given the amount of roles that combine non rescue and mostly sedentary tasking.
