Gomex...

Are you telling me the workforce in the Gulf Of Mexico are less concerned with their own personal safety than their counterparts in the North Sea oil industry?

Logically, would it not follow....that the safety standards adopted by an oil company in one location....in this case the North Sea....not be carried across their operations worldwide....if they were sincerely interested in operating to the highest standard possible?

If that is true....why therefore do we see such disparity in safety standards for the same oil company throughout the world? Are American lives any less valuable than say....Scottish or Dutch or English lives?

More importantly....what do we as an industry....the helicopter industry do....to improve the situation?
