Not sure if I would call it the best job in the helicopter world???

Top Aircraft, ok, that's cool. Even tho I think I already fly the best helicopter ever!
Top Maintenance, yep already got that.
Pre-surveyed landing sites, yawn....
Landing sites manned with markings and radio... Wake me up, when I have to do something.
Fuel available wherever, mm, sorta got that anyway, that's what fuel trucks and planning are for.
Passengers always on time. Ok, that's good.

Nothing against the clients, I like them, and even down here in NZ, I think we should keep them as head of state. Im no crazy republican, but the job sounds only just a little bit less boring than offshore flying, at least they get to go to different sites around the country, rather than hauling SLB to their job and home again.

I think I will stick to fire fighting, utility and Ag work, rather than being a glorified limo driver.

With the offshore industry the way it is, they shouldn't be short of applicants.
