Unhappy Marooned!!!

Hi guys!

This is on behalf of all of us stranded on rigs & platforms due to the big bad "F" word.

We all know how bad the weather has been over the last week or so and the number of cancelled flights. We were wondering however if you had heard any plans by the Consortium to use Norway to get guys off of rigs, I know there was a chopper diverted to Bergen friday (It landed here for fuel we were told!). Just interested in the logistics of it all. Also hearing rumours that if crews have been on standby trapped in Shetland that hours may be a problem when the weather finally clears, is this true?

As you can imagine there isnt alot else being talked about out here right now except the weather and when or if the next chopper is coming!! So any replies or info from any of you flying out of Aberdeen/Shetland with Bristows etc. is appreciated.

On a personal note, Id be interested in what sort of minimums you can fly in out here.

Regards, SD
