Bull**** SM
I worked on an operation for Shell with one aircraft one pilot and one engineer.
No leave for us over a nine month period.
3 flights a week, then 5 flights a week then two flights on some days.
Then additional flights at weekends.
Eventually the peny dropped and we were restricted to 5 days a week.
The crowning glory was while loading a container some of the content leaked on to my hand.
I was told it was distilled water, after a few seconds my hands began to burn, sulphuric acid.
The effect of this running through the aircraft can be imagined.
Who was responsible for this load, the Shell safety representative!!!!!
Shouldn't really have worried though as they loaded a lead acid battery on it's side a few weeks later and did some serious damage anyway.
Our facilities were no hangar, no running water, no toilet facilities, just a 40 foot shipping container on a piece of tarmac on the apron.
Mind you everything was ok because we were "Shell approved"!!
