Probably the same worker who "wont set foot on one of those death traps again!" but is at the front of the line to get on one at home time....
If they did take the decision to remove the puma from service then ALL the offshore workforce would have to work extended rota patterns to cope with the reduced number of flights... wouldn't take long for the "Re-instate the Puma!" pages to crop up. Probably from the same guy who called to scrap them.
Rubbish....there are so many idle Aircraft just waiting to fill slots for EC225 Aircraft.
CHC are about to dump 90 Idle Aircraft (Less the EC225's on that list) on the Market alone let alone all the other machines from Bristow and the like.
