How about the other outfits GLS....
What limits does your outfit publish? Does it enforce those policies or is there a blind eye turned towards those who fly beyond that particular set of rules?
Do you agree with my view of the Coast Guard and their general unpreparedness for deep water SAR on a timely basis? If you fly out towards the very southern reaches of the the American side of the GOM....do you have USCG SAR available to you for the entire route or do you have to rely upon commerical non-SAR aircraft to come find you and maybe drop a raft to you? Any hoist equipped civilian SAR aircraft in the GOM that you know of?
