Lack of captaincy

No armchair required here.
Is there an increasing number of incidents/accidents that show a decreasing level of Captaincy in O&G?
You can have 1000s of hours going from A-to-B under strict regulations, Met-monitoring, sea state monitoring, rig cloud base reporting, sms devouring conditions - and still not build ‘Captaincy’.
Just like the EC155 SNS incident where the ‘captain’ continued despite glaringly obvious indications (and various other cases of ‘push-on-it’s’) the Captain should have parked the aircraft when it turned 90 without his demand.
Where was the ‘Co-pilot’ CRM?
I suggest if you can’t control an aircraft on lift within 10 degrees on ‘lift’ - regardless of deck turbulence, then you shouldn’t be flying. Especially with the tr auth of a 92.
Wtf was the ‘co’ doing?
This is from a company that harps on about CRM and glossy safety seminars??
Crews need to grow some preverbials.
Captaincy is dead, long live Captaincy!
HUMs action and engineer competency/diligence are ‘barriers’ - the accident happened because the crew did not behave like a crew and a lack of good old fashioned CAPTAINCY.
