Bell-Ringer, in a small business of 3 pilots, where do we find a ground crew to park out in the boonies next to some fuel drums to wait hours for an aircraft to perhaps drop in? Plenty of dumps to choose from, use the nearest one to where your water source is. Our machines got moved around from fire to fire, maybe leaving your imaginary fuel helper without a ride home, and the fuel truck driver didn't have a pile of people to leave in the bush either.
Perhaps you have not operated on a fire, hmmm? This was in the 90s, Mister Banks. Using B206 with 500 lt Bambi buckets. Things are a bit different now, but then it was a huge learning curve. People have managed to get the RFS into a much better way of working with operators.
All very well to sit back and spout HR-developed plans that cover every eventuality with rose petals, but it's a bit like war - as soon as the first shot is fired, the plan turns to dust.
But one thing really got my goat. At Silverdale, in the Blue Mountains, there was a large staging base with fuel, and support people providing sandwiches and drinks. One particular operator would leave the aircraft turning and burning while the pilots sat under a tree having their lunch, and billing the RFS for the engine time. THAT was offside.
