Helieng,. .I can't comment as to the job satisfaction, as I am not qualified, having never worked for any length in the North Sea.. .. .But I can coment on the general skill level of those I have flown with who work the North Sea. They are in a class among the most skilled helo pilots in the world, due to a combination of weather, environment and politics (where the customer and passengers are especially demanding).. .. .The combination of instrument skills, adherence to procedures and professional attitude is really exemplary.
