Thumbs up night offshore

I'm with you SASLESS!

As someone else on this board said in another discussion..."it's just going backwards"!

The helicopter industry has progressed to where we have twin engine, glass cockpit, efis/defis, two pilot op's, .......and so on.....

Why put an aircraft with basic equipment into an environment that demands more? I appreciate technology and what it has to offer us, but I respect what my predecessors have accomplished with basic a/c.

Having said that, I fully realise what had to be done in the past to get the job done. I hope the majority of us are beyond that!

My humble thoughts!
