Well $40-60k a year for two week in and two weeks off isnt a bad deal. 
Those with special skills get more, its hazard pay.
Last night when I made my post YahooNews posted a vid 3 hours before that saying that all 11 were still lost and probably dead.
Its just the media trying to get more attention, stretching the truth.

Just so everyone knows, the Associated Press has retracted their statement on finding the 11 missing people, so 11 people ARE still unaccounted for.
I now work for Cetco Oilfield Services, completely 3rd party. I work in the filtration division, we handle pipeline flushes, completion fluids and things like that, filter it, and then dump the clean seawater overboard.
In all honesty, I hate working offshore now, it got old last year when I left my old company. The only problem I had was trying to find something else that paid well in this economy, so after a few months of hunting, I took this job.
Our job is extremely dangerous, but a TON of money is spent making it safer. In all reality, you're more likely to die in your car on the way to the heliport than you are to die out here.
