couple of guys i know worked out of Guam, one kiwi one scot,
for both of them it was their first full time flying job.so both were
very thankful to get the break.when not flying, they checked &
double checked the machine. only the captain could spk a little
English, lot of the crews were from Phillipines.
once the ship had a decent catch they would head in to port,couple of days R&R and back out again. Both were happy
with amount of flying they got,hughes 500, both have now moved onto other jobs. N.B scots guy ditched twice, electrical fire first time(all that salt spray) TR failure the 2nd.
