A-B,
You stated "No amount of Crab Bashing can excuse poor flying skills of North Sea Pilots.". Care to expound upon that will you....as that is a serious accusation.....the lack of flying skills you are talking of amongst the North Sea Pilots.
Do you excuse former RAF pilots from those you consider having poor pilot skills or are your comments all inclusive no matter the background and former training? Do you allow a subset of former RAF SAR Pilots to be excused from those suggestions as North Sea Pilots they too have sub-standard skills?
Why do you think North Sea Pilots have poor skills?
What is a cause for that you think?
Care to cite some data or incidents that would lead you to think of North Sea Pilots as you seem to do based upon your comments?
How would you remedy this unsatisfactory situation you see extant on the North Sea?
I have advocated a "shields down review" on the situation....so drop your Shields and tell us what your really think please.
