You are correct. There was at least one American (me) that got the unfortunate call the other morning. I had just resigned my position with my current company to dedicate some serious study time to the CHC Ops Manuals in preparation for the move, trained my own replacement, and then the call.
Really sucks, but I am looking at it in a positive light, as best I can. Perhaps I can get some additional training in that makes me even more competitive in the market.
Maybe even CHC in the future!?
