Ethics etc
The BHAB thing is really about trying to keep noise complaints down and and I think came about at much the same time as the "Fly Neighbourly" theme from the USA. These programmes, though sensible, were just self-preservation.
Ethics in business are a very different thing. Most companies in the capitalist world are required by their shareholders to maximise profits. I don't think helicopter companies are any worse than any other industry its just that the words "profit" and "helicopter" are sort of mutually exclusive so there's a bit more desperation to their activities.
I still think its a fun industry to be in, after 35+ years - but then again maybe I just need help?...Nurse!!
SASless makes a good point somewhere about the ethics and approach to safety within Oil companies. They make us lot look like angels. Every time I hear some CEO say "Safety is our first concern" I want to be sick.
