Thankyou for retiring. As the industry cleanses its self of you Bristow style Pilots we will all be better off. It is the inefficient practices that stem from your part in history that draged the top end of the industry down.
Thankyou all for your private massages. Please, we will not be recruiting until June.
A big thanks to all that have provided private massages on the role of crewmen. On the basis of your response we have decided not to employ any air crewmen. We are going to use co-pilots instead. As you collectively made clear, an air crewman’s role is that of a co-pilot with the addition of hoist operation. The pay (food) is the same for both. So we figure we may as well use people with real aviation qualifications.

We figure aviation knowledge in the cockpit is more valuables than surf savvy. We feel this will improve CRM and show an enhanced duty of care over the current operators.

Please explain your perception and the correlation between high pilot/crew pay and safety. Are you thinking clearly? Or is your own ambition getting in the way?
Another question for all.
What is a reasonable period to bond a pilot after a 412 endorsement?
Please consider in your responses that we will be using low time pilots and endorsements may take up to five hours. Very expensive!
