How long do some of these 206's go between good daily inspections by licensed mechanics? In the old days...mechanics went with the aircraft just like pilots...then the move was to roving mechanics...now...the aircraft and pilots sit on the offshore platforms for a week or two at a time without seeing a mechanic. Is that as it should be?
How many of these crashes are due to mechanical failure...and how many to bad fuel...or pilot error? A good statistical analysis would be revealing I think.
