Let's get the facts straight
Now - tell me who you know that is both a FI (Heli) AND a highly trained trained Nurse? .... Go on .... Who do you know?
Well - now you do - cos it's him.
So to those who might question this particular FI's ability to deal with this crisis - cos it was a crisis - it just so happens there is NO better pilot in the UK who is trained, qualified and experienced to actually deal with that on the ground. P.S. his nursing speciality is wound care.
Put me in an upside down aircraft in a ploughed filed - and it's HIM I want on the scene - RIGHT NOW. Oh yes - and I neary forgot - half a tank of fuel somewhere sloshing around.
If the company insist on him paying for the unathorized flight I will be writing to the company and asking them to bill me direct.
Now THAT will be an interesting piece of paper to have if they send me the bill.
I feel sure there MUST be some misunderstanding on behalf of the company - isn't there?
