Jeeezz...I am not talking about climbing climbing to flight levels...climbing a little higher will make literally no difference. This isn't about flying over one persons house, it's about having some consideration to the general population. I am well away that they will have things to think about. However, if 4 people can't muster that extra ounce of brain power to think about neighbourly flying, then how do us poor single pilots manage when on Air ambulance shout? You're wrong as well about an S92 flying over London giving people something to complain about. Believe me, they complain about the 145's enough as it is.
Landing/departing at sites, arriving on scene and being low level , doing a recce etc, is part of the job an I don't care if people complain, this is not what I am talking about. Transiting low level to a job, as if you are still in the military is unnecessary and causes the general public to turn against helicopter noise, and that is not good for anyone.
