The past two weeks I've flown between Aberdeen
in Scotland and Cork in Ireland. We have a scheduled
charter for an oil company which we fly twice a
week so that they can rotate their crews on their
platforms.
It's a fairly simple work week. We either drive
through to Aberdeen on Monday evening, or position
the plane from Inverness on Tuesday morning. Then
there's a two hour flight over to Ireland which
is fairly painless. In Cork it normally take the
helicopters a few hours to rotate the crew back
and forth to the platform, so we usually go into
town for lunch.
Then we fly back to Aberdeen in the afternoon.
Wednesday we're off an then we do the same thing
on Thursday.
