I flew workers offshore in the 80's and 90's in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska. I don't think the company man would put up with a snowflake for a minute, and the tool pusher not for a second. It's definitely no place for snowflakes in the oil patch. The only thing my passengers feared was altitude. They much preferred to fly low, giving minimum time to scream if we went down enroute.Pete92FS wrote:Great way to prepare the snowflakes for the real world. Worked for offshore drilling companies for almost 40 years; would loved to have seen the reaction when I went offshore and asked the toolpusher or rig manger if they had a crying room to chill out in if things got too stressful.
