as I have in the past noted the very small percentage Helicopter Costs are in an Oil Company's Transportation Budget. Don't tell me they cannot spend a few Bob extra to enhance safety and comfort for their employees who fly out to Sea to get to work.
Of course they can SASless and they will spend more with fewer pax per flight. It's just a shame that the real so called specialists, the helicopter operators, are dragging their feet instead of leading the industry. Actually, the helicopter operator's understanding of their customers is very poor.
