Sounds to me as if Miss Reverse Flight's job application was rejected by GFS but the hefty chip is still in place. Get over it.

Sky Shuttle operate AW139's as far as I am aware and fly CAT A procedures - which if flown correctly will eliminate ditching. GFS do not operate CAT A because of the nature of the job and the aircraft that they use.

GFS are one of the most capable and professional helicopter operators around. Seems to me that the training the crews receive paid off in this incident.

Well done to the crew.
