So you didn't apply for the job then? Careful how you answer...

Life offshore is pretty grim, but the Jigsaw pilots don't go offshore on every rotation and they are back in Aberdeen for three weeks not two, even if they are working for 4 days of that. The leave allocation does sound dire though and I hope for the sake of the industry that it is ammended otherwise there might not be enough pilots left to do the contract!

Another factor is that there is apparently a good mix of personnel and not just a bunch of whinging old SAR boys from the RAF - just kidding

I wish the boys good luck, and I like you think they will need it!
