Nubian, your keeness to fly is to be comended, like everyone on this forum we want to return to our jobs ASAP, myself .... I have been unable to work in the aircraft since January due to medical reasons (not maddness either
)
I was looking forward to my first shift Thursday and sadly I have had 3 days stuck on the ground looking at the helicopter sitting motionless
But as much as I want to get up I know that we can't and I will have to wait a little bit longer. What I do know is that those that know better than me, do not think it's a good idea to risk engines, airframe and ulitmately lives just yet.. I will be happy to go when they say so and not before. Sand filters, not seeing the dust etc etc means jack to me as I know like a lot of folk here diddly sqaut about what is going on above us, so I will trust their expertise on this subject
