What I am hearing is that pilots agree that:
Recently the company I fly for did a job for BP in an “all singing, all dancing” S76. BP refused to let us even board passengers in the dark at the airport, never mind actually fly. It was against their policy and rules for normal ops! Too risky!
If leading oil companies believe that the risk is that high and are not investing, or even indicating a willingness to invest, in the technology what is the point in the pilots ‘swimming upstream’? No matter how often you “say mine is bigger” there is going to be a paymaster that says “no it is not”.
How are we going to convince the user otherwise?
