The quote about not living to far away because they don't like it is a bit of a red herring chap. The Rulebook says you can't live to far way due to fatigue.
It is not a red herring at all, they contractually require you to live locally, so this stops people living in one part of the country and then travelling up and staying locally in a B&B or a rental for your days on and then travelling back for your days off, which is all common practice in CHC/Bristow, as who would want to spend their days off in Aberdeen
CHC have a few people who live in france on days off. It's all so they can call you on your days off so that they can prevail upon you to "help them out"
