Just to make things clear: I am a chc pilot
According to your post, I understand you never came in Port Harcourt, have you?
Just come and fly in Port Harcourt area for a couple of tours and you will understand.
Come and enjoy the nice sunny weather (especially during rainy season) with no TCAS, no radar coverage, useless ATC..., with about 100 helicopters movement per day
Come and have a look at our nice ops centre called Charlie Papa, compare to your ops centre in Stavanger we are somewhere between the stone age and the iron age
I can't count anymore how many pilots came here and resign at the end of the first tour, and the reason was not the food quality served daily
I remember the first few pilots send here by the company, they never came back, WHY?
I won't loose my time talking about security problems, kidnapping, just have a look on

But keep in mind if people complain there must be a reason(s). I choose to come here and I can resign anytime, yes it's possible to enjoy it here, I don't want to work or live in sterilized tasteless Europe, I like exotic places.
Enjoy the North Sea weather
