Phoenix Rising Point taken, and you are probably right, but as stated by SASless -
All helicopter outfits are the same....they have good cycles and bad cycles....the trick is to find one that has hit bottom and is on the way up....ride that pony until the top of the hill is crested and then jump ship looking for another one that is heading up the grade.
Doesn't give me a very comfortable feeling about his reliability.
And before you ask, I've got no axe to grind with SASless or anybody. I don't know him and I spent many happy years working for Bristow. I certainly wasn't "riding any ponies" but left due to lack of fulfilment at that particular time in my life. (OK, so my "exit interview" would not have read well at the time, but I do not hold anything against the company - they were just going through a time of large changes)
