Whilst risking slight thread-drift here, I have two questions regarding the post from Brilliant Stuff;
First, does the helicopter operator insist on crews using cheap headsets? (Yes, I've used the sets mentioned, and they are poor compared to other products on the market).
Secondly, why is it that crews don't wear helmets?
As a frequent pax to exotic offshore platforms, and someone whose previous employment meant getting the protection provided by a helmet, I, and I don't doubt many of my fellow pax, would be happier knowing that the guys and girls up front were better protected, not only from the albeit slight risk of avian incursion, but the noise levels.
Thank you.
