In the onshore world it's ALL about money. Operators will do anything to get the work and anything to try to shave every penny off a job
At a well known onshore IFR operator.. I have witnessed the Operations manager (who was the Chief Pilot's 'partner') shouting in the background "what's wrong with him? he's got an IR, just tell him to get on with the job" when a pilot had phoned in after having to divert due to poor weather (thus wiping out the profit from the job)
That's an example of the kind of thing that goes on.
That's just bonkers, don't these people have any sense of self preservation?
