ah yes ambi, but in Great Yarmouth you can only fly as a cojo as a freelancer and they only offer you work for a week or two at a time. Then there's that horrible survival suit they have to wear there mush of the year and that horrible thing called taxandinsurancedeductions which makes the cash in hand only about $560 per day. Granted the met may not shoot you if you don't have a beard and a name starting with Ali-something .
Rotor driver, CHC is paying that much, and remember Nigeria isn't the Middle east - LOL
SASless, Louisiana slightly better than Nigeria . I think I prefer Nigeria - fewer people shot in the streets(?), fewer helicopter crashes, cheaper, stronger beer and no Burger king
However, I think the point has been made that actually the money is better almost everywhere than in the Middle East where, apart from UAE, the flying is mostly dull and the lifestyle lousy.
