VeeAny;
I remember you describing this flight at the time. Your boss never realised the work load you had and what the potential risks were. That is the sign of a bloody good pilot. I've lost customers in similar circumstances and it smarts.
What he doesn't realise is that the one who would press on is the one without the experience or knowledge to know how fast things will get out of hand. Last year I diverted from a private site (in a valley) to a field I knew I could get into 12 miles away. Told the boss to get into a car and had my ears ripped off all the way to Battersea as just as he was getting in the car a heli landed in the valley and collected it's customer from the same party.
The pilot of that aircraft took monumental risks. I tracked down who it was out of interest. He was new to both the game (recently ex-mil) and new to the heli. I would never use this pilot. His employer can't have line trained him properly as he should have known the rules or he set out to prove a point.
I hope your boss has calmed down. You deserved a bonus not a bollocking.
