Well, Helieng. I tried it a long time ago when I left the Navy in 1976. The pay was damned good then by comparison with what I'd been on but I was disappointed with the atmosphere between management and pilots and I found the work extremely dull. I started looking for another job after 3 months and have had a lot of fun around the world as a result.. .. .Incidentally, training standards then were awful because you could never get your hands on a spare aircraft. No sims available for the S61. Some of the management pilots were downright dangerous as a result. Certainly without my forcible intervention we would have ditched once, and run out of fuel once.. .. .Be that as it may, you have to take your hat off to the massive job that has being done, day in, day out for the last 30+ years. I just don't want to be there doing it!
