A crew from an offshore company flew out to an oil platform early one morning to pick up a full load of passengers to return to the beach. Unfortunately, when they landed on the platform (which was about 100 miles from their base), they then saw that they had no lifejackets on board!
They didn't normally fly from their base empty which they did this day, and they didn't check to make sure they had lifejackets on board, because normally their outbound passengers would be wearing them to pass on to the inbound pax.
Red faced, they had to return to their base and pick up the lifejackets! Even more red-faced was the Commander who was the Chief Pilot
