It is obvious that CHC UK do not have a contract for Shell, they insist on all pilots using a sim if one is available. CHC in Holland use simulators. For years first with KLM, KLE, Schreiner and CHC I went to WPB for the S76 and then 6 months later Stavanger for the S61.
One size does not fit all, some areas of CHC are up to speed in using simulators and enhancing pilot skills, awaress and knowledge of emergency procedures. Others like the UK, well what can you say!
