Bristows have to pay that to compensate the 'boredom factor'.
That's an interesting comment. Would you care to tell us all what is that exciting about updating ships, prying the sleep out of your eyes at 2 am, babysitting marine pilots, flying over water for 2 hours or the pitch black or in the !!!! with your pupils rapidly cycling attempting to adjust to the lightning, trying to speak pidgeon english and completely disregarding what is left of your body clock at times that warrants such a pathetic salary. One might suggest ( if one is not a greedy bean counting parasite) that the salary should be the contrary. If memory serves me correctly, it was at times tedious, frustrating, challenging, enlightening, satisfying, scary, gratifying and mundane but the one thing that I never personally felt was that I was being rewarded what I was worth. Let alone some of the more qualified and professional lads I had the pleasure of working with.
