kiwi chick,
I'm searching desperately for the wit your disclaimer refers to.
Actually, I'm wondering what's required to get your license too, as it seems that following a Kiwi on almost any lifting job, in machines ranging from Jet Ranger's and 500's, to Astar's and Medium's, means that you have to re-educate the customer about the actual capabilities of the machine.... Now, I have several close Kiwi friends, and this is a joke that freely flows between us, as they are well aware of the reputation as well. Take it for what it's worth.
The fact remains that our Kiwi brethren are routinely lifting loads they should not be, and their reputations are suffering for it. I'm personally sick of hearing that the "last guy" moved that 1400lb part with a 500....
So, I apologize for hi-jacking this thread, and would be happy to continue this in another if you so wish.

PS, If the best you can do is stoop to personal insults to counter my somewhat offensive statement, you're in trouble.
