As usual the industry is quick to stick the knife in.
I wasn't being critical of the crew who were no doubt trying to do their very best for the injured fisherman and I am very glad to hear that they are all safe and well. It is easy to pick a plan and actions to bits from the comfort of an armchair. But having experience of both single pilot SAR ops in a BK and multi-crew ops in something larger and better equipped I know which is preferable. You have to have been over the back of a pitching deck on a dark and stormy night to understand - or even making an approch to land over water. At least lessons have been learned and all survived.
