Late to join this one - congrats the crew for a great decision and defaulting to the safest action. Hope I get to work with people like you.
Also I guess the write off of the hull will marginally increase the value of every other 225 in service. So the companies should send the pilots a commission.
The oil companies should send them a bonus for not risking
a.potential loss of personnel by persisting with flight and
b. not crashing onto a platform helideck risking a billion dollar facility.
well done crew. fwiw.
