Call it the cost of doing business around the boat. I would never begrudge those guys that gas that they are dumping, and this is coming from someone who flies an aircraft that has to shut down with a minimum of ten thousand pounds in the tanks.Not to be the bad guy here, but that should honestly be a valid question. I know exactly how much gas our airwing dumped each cycle. Combine that with the 7 day currency thing and its a fuckton of gas wasted. (And what real benefit does all that fuel buy you?) Compare the amount dumped by 1 airwing during 1 cycle to the amount an entire helo squadron burns flying for a quarter or even a year, and you start to wonder if the focus of previous cuts was a bit misguided....
