This may be closer to reality than we all think. BP Amoco have been working on this for 18 months. All that is left to do is sell the idea to the work force. With standby boats costing £5k a day there are some big savings to be made. As for crews, some additional training will be needed but Valley have done that in the past - for a fee! nice little earner for the military. The question is, how many helio's and therefore how many crews working what kind of rota offshore? Lots of duty time but not much flying. It will be interesting to see what excemptions the CAA will give to FTL!
