Thanks for answering in my absence. I don't actually come by here that often. I don't really have anything constructive to add except this.
I have noticed that in the current "pilot shortage" I am flying with a lot more "offshore captains" who have little or no knowledge of what helideck markings mean, the fact that there are normally 2 access points to a deck, or any other facet of how the rig actually operates.
It's a little worrying to me. I have always believed that we need to learn as much as practical about the industries we support in order to be both safe and effective.
