Most, if not all the major operators have stand down procedures in the gulf. I believe that singles and twins where not flying for Bristow this morning due to the inclement weather.
However it was reported that this operator was operating. Its a sad situation with needless loss of life and another black mark on GOMEX aviation.
Last heard that one survivor was rescued but later died at the coast guard station. Two others where found deceased with another two still missing. No word if the pilot was found.
God be with their families in their hour of need.
