N. Sea is pretty much like an airline and last year on my hols i didn't see one of my plank bretheren with a helmet on or come to think of it an immersion suit.
While travelling to your holiday destination did you see those fixed wing pilots flying multiple short shuttle sectors, at night, at 500ft and below, down wind, in 50kts, landing and departing onto flat top decks of 16m diameter? A typical winter evening’s work in the SNS.
Was their cockpit as cramped as a S76 or AS365 ?
How noisy was their office?
I for one wouldn’t dream of giving up my immersion suit in the winter, and as for helmets I can see both sides of the argument.
But should I choose to wear one why should anyone deny me that option?
