If money were no object...

Someone said all the things they could of, would have should have if money were no object... Personally that's nonsense because the kit described doesn't cost unlimited amounts however lets look at the players involved.

How about BP... the multi billion dollar corporation, Royal Dutch Shell...the multi billion dollar corporation, Total...., Statoil.... not talking oil companies? Perhaps the manufacturers? EADS... the multi billion dollar corporation, United Technologies? Same. Not talking those either? Perhaps the operators? Bristow?? guess what the market capitalisation is of Bristow Group? Goes by the ticker BRS on the New York Stock exchange.. Its $2.8bn.

Quite aside from which there is no point bleating about it here - how about some evidence of what you'd do in all those places where it might actually gain some traction??

I think in the course of history there have been many more difficult struggles than complaining to some corporates - who have the money - to get proper kit. If there was a committed effort to get the correct kit you'd have it. End of.
