After 18 years in the GOM I left 20 years ago for a much better job in Aviation! After all that time it appears nothing has changed much (except pay) in the Helicopter Industry! The final straw was when I flew six hours straight running a field (hot refueled) before shutting down for lunch! I walked into the galley and heard the Field Foreman calling me on the radio! The cook grabbed the radio and announced I was getting ready to eat lunch! The Foreman told him to tell me I didn't have time for lunch and to get back to flying! I snapped! Took my time eating a great meal! Once airborne again the Foreman didn't say much to me! I quit at the end of my hitch and never looked back! |

Similar event in ME. Guy was constantly interfering with safety briefs. Caught me at the wrong moment and that was, almost, the end of his job. Not surprisingly he found me to be his best bud thereafter. Sure. |
