Sorry if it came off as a rant, it wasn't supposed to be. I was just stating the facts!
I agree totally with captain catastrophy, 8 and 4 is just not acceptable to a lot of people these days, me included. With travel, and training time included its more like 9 and 3.
How many of you old boys who think 8 and 4 was OK are still married to your first wife, or even your second for that matter?
I am not bad mouthing Bristow, I have no delusions of grandeur, I would just rather stack shelves for minimum wage than spend 12 weeks a year with my family.
