Zalt,

No vendetta.....just trying to import the reality of the situation.

Fact....four pilots have been shot in the line of duty working for Bristow Nigeria. Pretty grim thought that!

Where else in the world do civilian oil support pilots take such gun related casualties as they do in Nigeria?

How many pilots and crew have been hijacked and held hostage in the past?

Where else in the world do crews endure that situation while supporting oil operations?

At least one aircraft has taken a hit from gunfire while flying has it not?

I get no satisfaction out of anyone being hurt.....quite the contrary.

As I read the post....I am pointing out how dangerous it is working in Nigeria under the current situation.

What reaction will there be when someone gets shot dead in one of these attacks?

Business as usual? Accept the "Risk" that goes with the job?
