Anybody get fired yet? Not that I would expect a pilot employed by Bristow or CHC to ever get sacked. Different for a small operator- any suspicion that you're going to cost the company more that you can earn and you'd be gone. Two pilots taxiing into a pole the size of the Empire State building in broad daylight and the small operators I've worked for would have difficulty finding the confidence to bet the survival of their company on them again.
Curious how other small operators would view it. I've seen pilots let go for far less. Just wondering if that's just a Canadian thing and reflective of very tight operating margins and small 2-4 helicopter outfits.
