What has happened this week makes me shudder. My friends have yet again been put in a position that they did not bring upon themselves. We all know that we have a certain amount of risk that we will be subjected too. But this arises from where we operate our given platforms. The MR2 operates in a theatre where it can be in very grave danger. Fine, i get paid for that. But I hope that someone has ensured that I can complete my task without the platform I am in becoming the very thing I have to fight.
I love the MR2, the crews, and the jobs that we complete all the time. Most of which we complete without any acknowledgment. I want to be able to support my colleagues on the ground and complete the multitude of other tasks that this aircraft and the skilled operators can achieve.
This week we could have witnessed another crash.
This has to stop.
I applaud all on this thread who want to get to the truth, and for those who want us to stop, then this week has been a wake up call.
Good work lads, hope the beers have been good this week.
