Nothing is going to change on the North Sea until the pilots act as one. A mornings action would be all that is needed, by 5pm pay and conditions would be top of the agenda at the oil companies. (We all agree it is the oil companies drive for profit that has led us to this point)This will never happen. We are all professionals and would not leave guys stranded offshore/food and mail onshore. Therefore the cycle continues, until a demoralised crew in an ageing helicopter working in an overstretched enviroment has an accident and the law suites start flying. Then 2 years later, after the public enquiry something maybe done. Tombstone industrial relations!
