Newfieboy........... (...)I mean really. 10 hours flying and 14 hours duty. Who in hell would insure that!
A lot of operations self insure.
The question, seeing as you long line utility heros missed it! Was about offshore flying. That's moving live things....humans. Not lumps of conrete and freight.
Offshore does external loads as well, although not typically long line.
Eight hours a day single pilot isn't/wasn't unusual, I'd do it a couple times a month. The fatigue gets to the chronic stage with only 10 hours rest and 120 hours of flying in 30 days...
