Skydriller,
We're trying to get you off, believe me. Our limits go down to 3/4 mile and 50' above the helideck height. No false weather reports please, as we just end up in Norway on Kn500/day plus expenses.
Believe it or not; if we wait on an offshore platform overnight we're supposed to hand in £1.50 breakfast allowance that would normally be paid in the Shetland Islands. It's just got silly when there's a proper job to be done.
Hey, we'll try and get you off as soon as possible. We do fly down to the limits. Let's ignore the penny pinching for now and maybe our helicopter company will go out for proper rates in the future to retain their pilots.
Hope you get back tomorrow.
Cheers
