Unfortunately legislation makes it harder and harder to legally fly drones, or any other aircraft now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it does have that feature. I’ll try it next time. I didn’t want to get too clever because it’s the first time I’ve used it in ages!

S-Westerly Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Makes me wish I was home . Just 12 days to go Lucky you. I'm basically on an open ended one now as it all depends where we are when I'm due off. So many places are still off limits. Company wide we have over 300 men and women who are well overdue relief. It sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed.This is the first time I would be happy to extend and stay few weeks more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed.This is the first time I would be happy to extend and stay few weeks moreThat's the problem isn't it? The lack of certainty for the future. I know where you are coming from with the cruise industry. I can't see it ever going back to what it was or at least not for a year or so depending on how the plague works out. Even the Hurtigurten guys in Norway have cancelled everything until next year. Even on tankers it's dodgy - the ships will probably keep going and freight rates are okay ish but when / where we can change out is ever changing and liable to turn literally on a whim. We've had guys fly out to Singapore and get sent home again for a random change in the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It remains to see how long owner will keep us on board on full payment.I don’t know how long this can last but cruise industry cannot survive more than 6 months from now.
